Hello,
I recently screwed mytorsion bar bolts all the way up (on a 4wd...i know) and took then went off roading, inthe process, my front anti-sway came loose, so i also removed those, now i have a pretty bad tire/road noise comming from the front, and when i turn left, it stops.

Coudl it be one of the CV joints that's maxed out, and then i turn, due to the body role it gets back to a more suitable angle and stops making noise? It started very suddenly and i don't seem to see anything that's bent.
 






Did you wash it out real good?? I usually gets rocks and stuff stuck up in the suspension that makes all sorts of noises. Make sure nothing is stuck inbetween the rotor and shield, I get stuff in there all the time.
 






i did wash it out, but I guess should really take off the wheels and do it that way right?

I'm sure now it's some sort of tire noise, as the pitcha dn volume change with speed...that does indicate tire noise right?

I recently change my right front bearing assembly, after about 180K km. So i suppose it could be time to do the left, but that's of course a last resort.
 






someone's have to had this happen to them? :rolleyes:
