Noise Issue with C5 Corvette Suspension
Hi everyone..I'm having a persistent issue with my C5. Whenever I drive over even minor bumps, there's a noticeable noise originating from the front end. It's difficult to precisely describe, but it seems related to the suspension – almost like there might be something loose. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any insights on what could be causing this?
also I’m not sure if it’s my imagination but it seems to get a little better as I drive it but it’s still there

I dis-assembled them and the rubber was perfect, so I applied some Brembo rubber grease, sparingly, re-assembled and haven't had an issue in five years now.
