So i have grinding rubbing noise in the front driver side suspension...only over bumps and offroading. when you drive on roads makes no noise at all.
When you turn wheel left to right no noise on the asphalt only off road (at first i thought it was ball joints again).
So i grease my ball joints they are fairly new and rubbers are good never helped with noises .
then i noticed that the sway bar links look and feel plastic? and they are cracked... could that be the problem?
oh yea the shocks ,cv joints, front bearings, breaks, tires was changed last year.
any suggestion what to check next?
