Bumping sound front end... WTF
Hey guys, I got a 2000 WS6. I have a 1" drop by BMR and shows by Shock o Matic... I think, my mechanic screwed me on those... Anyways. Those were put on about 8 months ago. Last weekend I replaced the upper ball joints, and tie rod ends with Moog. I still have a bumping sound while driving. seems like something is loose. I just jacked up the car, and everything seems to be tight. I have about 100k miles on the car and about 5k on the new LS6. Other then that listed above, its stock as far as suspension goes.
Thoughts? Please help before I rip out my hair!

dude, dont even get me started on the shocks... Im already beyond furious with the BS i have gone through with my tech. And I havnt thought about the sway bar. I will have to take a look and see. I know those are pretty easy to change. I already planned on upgrading with BMR front and rear sways.

It's a shame how convincing some shady mechanics can be! haha Reminds me of the Bass-O-Matic from SNL.
I would Certainly check your sway bar endlinks. They have a tendency to make noise if installed incorrectly. That means you should loosen and retighten them with the suspension loaded. If that doesn't fix your problem, look at the ball joints again...it's very possible they were not pressed in correctly.

Kevin, Im planning on replacing the upper and lower control arms, sway bars, torque arm, and panhandle arm by BMR. What can I expect to see from that up grade? and deff replacing the shocks with that as well.
