sway bar Links to the lower control arm?? could be right. they did however look to be ok. but i am getting the same noises as you describe.

would like it fixed so its perfect for the next buyer if someone ever does come along to buy it

I had a knocking noise in the front end when weight cam on and off the front left corner.

turned out to be a loose nut on the swaybar mount that holds the bush. It felt tight and even with a bar would not move but put a socet on it and tightened it and no more noise.

worth a check before you spend money.

thats the bit that was our prob not the best pic shoulda got 1 from other side to but you should be able email nothshore prestige if it turns out that is ur problem about $75 per side

and if you have a pedders near you $14 for a full inspection and they will tell you exactly whats wrong

Mine makes all kinds of suspension noises when driving up driveways lol.

She's heavy so i put them down to weight factor lol

Nissan havn't tried to sell me any expensive arm set-ups or anything so I'll assume it's not something major that they could profit off, or they would have taken the opportunity!

On that note, the old girl goes in for a 100,000km service at Parramatta Motor Group on Wednesday.. woo hoo! happy birthday

On a side note, I'm planning on treating her to a beauty treatment at Seven Hills Detailing Centre as part of her birthday present.. I was umming and arrring due to the front quarter panel (p plater incident) and the drivers door (some c*n# with a key or something similiar in a carpark), but decided it might bring the rest of the paint up quiet well and will keep her looking good for a few months.

Anyways, my rant over :yes:

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
