# the thunking continues....

Posted by mentat (93se 5spd) on July 10, 2002 at 12:32:51:

It is definitely coming from the driver's side wheel area... to recap: I get a "THUNK" noise from the front end when either A:) pulling away from a stop or B:) braking/slowing from a coast. also, if you kick the tire so to speak, i.e. sort of shove the top half of the front left tire inward towards the engine, you can definitely hear a thunk sound. is this the ball joint? something worse?

thanks

- It's a fairly simple procedure to replace, correct? >>> mentat (93se 5spd) 13:19:04 7/10/2002 (2)
  - Also, do I need to get the joints from a dealer (heh) or can i get them at Autozone or NAPA etc? nm mentat (93se 5spd) 13:20:53 7/10/2002 (1)
