ATTN: Suspension guys, need help with noise. (FIXED)
Need some help with a noise that’* driving me nuts.
I’m having this clanking noise every time I slow to a stop.
The noise comes from the front of the car, on the left most of the time and the right sometimes.
I had just replaced the endlinks up front because the drivers side was broken.
After I replaced the endlinks the noise seemed to go away for a day but them it came right back.
I had the front and rear suspension looked at and everything else looks good.
Infact both of my Bonneville’* have this noise.
The noise happens whether I stop strait, stop turning left, or stop turning right.
This Applies to my 98 SSEi and my 95 SSE.
Anybody else have this problem or is this a Bonneville thing?
Thanks for your help.-toddster

I'm sort of at a loss. Not sure what it could be. How tight did you go on the endlinks?
