Hey guys, today I drove over a small pot hole and now something is squeaking near the front left area of the car. I have no idea what it is.. Everytime the car vibrates, jerks or up shifts, theres this squeaking sound coming from the front left. Do you guys think it could be the front left damper ?

doubtful that its the damper, possibly a bushing....
best get it checked out asap...sigpic MRDC5S -
Oh dam.. Is this a costly fix ?

it depends on what it is. do you have OEM or after market bushings in the front??
But always have something checked before coming to an assumption of what it could be.
Most workshops would not charge to have a look to see whats going on...sigpic MRDC5SComment

to check a squeak out we wouldn't.
Had a guy come in last week with an EK1 that had a squeak in the rear, turned out to be RTA bushes needed greasing, looked like hard race bushes...sigpic MRDC5SComment

Ahh thats not far. So how much do you reckon parts and labour is going to cost ?Comment

depends on what it is causing the squeak, tell me about the pothole you hit, was it full of water???sigpic MRDC5SComment

There was some water.. It was about 4-5cm deep. I hit it at about 40KM/H. Im now also noticing a clunking noise when I turn the steering wheel and sometimes a clunk when I push the brake pedal.. What the hell is going on !Comment

would need to have a look at to determine what it is...sigpic MRDC5SComment

One way it might work would be to put the car up on stands, stick the key in and try turn the wheel yourself while a Mate checks underneath the car.Comment
