Default What does a binding end link sound like?

i just replaced my shocks on my 2004 vert with Z06 non-mag shocks. I also replaced my sway bar end links with some units from Moog.

In the morning, the first time I brake, I hear a click or a light clunk coming from the left front area. Like a loud click.

How can I check it?

I've heard the same noise three times in the last three four days. I replaced a tie rod and hub front pass side. The noise sounds from the front driver side.

weird. I went out and bounced the front of the car and didn’t hear anything. Maybe I’ll just turn the radio up.

ill try it. I was under the car this morning and didn’t find anything amiss. Didn’t check the clamps. It might need new it occurred to me that if the bar is flexing and the bushings are shot it could be momentarily getting suck and then letting lose.

I think ill I’ll go ahead and order some. They didn’t look very healthy after 96k miles.
