shock tower going bad?
here lately my car has been making some weird noises up front. Almost like something loose or something when i am driving on rough(or rougher) road, or when i hit a bump. i took it to my mechanic today and he said everything looks and feels fine underneath the car. he said that the only thing he could think of would be that the shock tower may be going bad. he drove it up the road and he heard the noise also.
i was wondering had any of u heard of this happening and would a STB help this problem????
TIA

Yeah, I dont think it could go bad unless you were in a bad accident. I would check the vertical control arm bushing, these things tend to get ripped or go bad every so often, and start making all kinds of bumps and thuds.

could be a broken front sway bar mount or end link. Get another oppinion by having someone else look at it, or look at it yourself. There's a lot of things that could be loose and causing something like that. Think about the last mod that was done on the car, or the last incident, like hitting something on the road.
