Need help with f'in jingle

Jacob300zx · 03-06-2007, 10:02 PM

So i take my gto into the service dept today for a jingling front end. They call back and say it was fixed. I ask what it was and the retarded service manager says " i don't know, but he retorqed everything and the noise is gone". I get in my car and as soon as I hit a bumpy street I hear it again(the road there business is on is perfect pavement). Needless to say I whipped a quick smokey u turn. Dropped it back off and made someone ride with me until they heard it. Don't get me wrong I love my car, but does anyone know why it sounds like a stack of loose washers when I hit a bump?

I wish it was the glove box. No I am not that big of an idiot. It is def coming from the front drivers side suspension. Sounds like there are washers on my springs that are loose. Hey just a quick idea though, since it only happens on roads with sharp bumps. Could it be the brake dust shield?

hey guys i had a similar problem i dont know if it is the same as yours or not but it fixed my noise! the hood on my car was seemingly not loose at all but i work at a body shop and saw a similar complaint come in and we tried everything but, the one thing that did work was this. You need to adjust the hood latch loosen up the nuts on the latch and then just move it down a hair ( just a hair and then if needed a lil bit more). but hey it worked for me man give it a wack!

There is a recall on the front struts. Might have them check that.
