Hi guys,
so as some of you may know I've got the ST 20/20 springs.
Since they've been installed I noticed two things:
1. A sound when standing still and steering (Knocking-like sound)
I am just sitting in the car at a standstill and I am steering half way to the left and afterwards half way to the right.
The outcome is this sound: LINK TO SOUNDFILE
2. A sound while driving over speed bumps or a bumpy road in general (squeaky-like sound)
When driving over speed bumps I get another weird sound. I sounds as if something is not attached tightly to the car.
Not only does it happen when driving over speed bumps but also when I am pulling into my driveway (sound comes up as soon as the tires hit the small curbstone)
This is the sound: LINK TO SOUNDFILE
It should be noted, that the sound is only coming from the left front side of the car, neither the right front or the rear produce a sound.
My personal hypothesis is, that its the strut bearing. But I am by no means an expert so I also visited Hyundai as well as my local mechanic and both said they are not able to diagnose it without disassembling half the stuff sitting in the front left wheel well.
The Hyundai mechanic told me he re-tightened all the screws under the car and in the engine bay and he confirmed to me that the sound seems to be coming from the front left side of the car.
So before starting the disassembly-process I wanted to get an opinion from you guys, if some of you experienced a similar sound in their cars?
Also, if some of you have the part numbers for the left front suspension components, that would be of great help!
Thanks for your help!
