[DeTomaso] checking front A Arm bushings

[Curt Hall]

Clay...
 
Have you checked to see if your radiator pipes are hitting your front sway bar? They  might look like they clear but there maybe enough flex in the radiator hoses to allow the pipes to hit the sway bar when you hit a bump.  Some of us split about a 6" piece of rubber hose and attached to the sway bar with some nylon ties.
 
Just a thought
 
Good Luck
Curt

How is the best way to check the a arm bushings to see if road noises can be reproduced in the garage?
I Have the wheels off and the car is up in the air on a lift but hard to get any movement without taking off tie rods or ball joints which I was hoping to avoid.
Bushings look ok but I am runnign out of things to blame these noises on which are most notable going slow and small bumps.

Also who sells the best squeak free bushing kits for front A Arms and sway bars?


thanks
