 | jack the front end up and try and wiggle the tire back and forth (not the direction of rotation). if you're lookin at it from the front or back i guess you could call it side-to-side. if it has alot of play in it your wheel bearings are shot

| It is the torsion bar. Check where it meets the crossmenber (pork chop) or the hex at the control arm. Dry sockets with torsion bar front ends do this all of the time. If you had a conventional spring and heard this noise, you would have described a squeeky spring, well, the torsion bar is just that a spring, it is only spirally wound, but still subject to the same resistance in the same contact areas. |
