    the only suspension related tsb in my system at work is for plate washers in the shock towers, there is one for squeeking serp belt tensioner, is that the noise you are hearing? if you are hearing squeeks when going over bumps n stuff its probably the shock towers that are blown up and need replaing. happens a lot

    Don't think its the pillow ball mounts because it happened after I got it back from a shop. The Inlaws took it in when they were borrowing the car. I hardly use it, it made noise from when I drove it away from the shop. Thought the springs just needed to seat. Well I hardly drive it so always forgot about it and I want to sell it so trying to fix what needs to be.

    Thanks I'm going to check to see if they installed the pillow ball mounts correctly or if they blown out.

    Let's start with what was supposed to be done at the shop?

    If you got struts, that's why I always try to get customers to get strut mounts with struts.

    Well my inlaws took it in and told them to fix what needed to be fixed. They never told me what was done even though i did ask many times. I know they did struts, cv axle and front brakes. They even changed the washer bottle because it was cracked.

    Well pulled 1 strut assembly yesterday. It was suprisingly easy and checked it out. Should the pillow ball mount be able to spin separate from the spring mount on the top? I did find 1 nut loose on the sway bar end link. That was causing the most disturbing clunk. Now the car just creaks but its not to bad. Almost sounds like its coming from the rear motor mount but not sure.

    Today I'll pick up a new battery and drive it around and see how it is.

    Thanks for all the help guys
    If you can think of something else that it could be lmk.
