Metal Groaning Noise From Pass Hump

[ck_chino]

hey guys so when i first accel from a stop at very low speeds i can hear a groaning noise and my passenger can actual feel something at their feet by the hump on the floor. in addition this sensation and noise can be heard and felt during braking regardless of in gear or not. its a 94 bnr32 btw.

fyi i hard thecar up on a lift and sprayed lube at the tension rod joint, sway bar mounts and bushes, the kingpin(bearing) on the left hand side of the car tranny mount and crossmember. had it sprayed for a week and still the noise was there. till one day there was some spirited driving with some hard braking the noise was gone. in my mind i thought that whatever was worn or dry had gotten lubed up from me doing the hard braking. maybe the g forces managed to force the lube where no lube has gone b4 lol. but neways the noise returns after 4 weeks or so.

ps nothing feels loose had the front wheels off and shook the whole bitch up to find everything tight

any help guys im stumped?

has anyone ever felt this noise or sensation?

mods if this is in the wrong section pls move and my apologies

I have the same thing, in the right hand side.

I am looking for kingpin bearings but i cannot find the bottom bearing.

if you can find them let me know where to get it.
