well.. they just reimbursed me half of what I paid for the two front tires which is pretty good considering the tires were worn especially on the inside since I had -1.5 degrees of camber.

thanks "ozone weather cracking"! :dance:

props to Tire Rack! they run a pretty tight ship!

I got around to installing the new front lower control arms in under 2 hours and happy as a bunny, patting myself on the back I went for a test drive and it still makes that slight thump.. As I was replacing the LCA's I also checked the front trailing arms and they are in good shape.

well.. I'm fresh out of ideas..

I was almost sure that's what was causing it.

what else could be in the front that's making that causing it? could it be something else but the suspenion? like something that sits in front of the firewall around the battery, brake booster, etc and is loose?

thanks guys!

i figure i'd update this thread.

it was the stupid spare tire causing the thumping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i know i initially thought it wasnt but i tested again with the spare tire out and no more thumping. talk about chasing ghost issues..

trouble is no matter how hard i tighten the spare tire it still moves around. why doe it even have this cut where the bolt sits allowing it to move left and right? it doesnt bother me now that i know there's nothing serious but i am curious if i am maybe missing a piece or something to really make it stay in place during hard turns?
