    Whats up dudes?

    Ive had a slight bump/pop up front on the drivers side atleast thats where it feels like its coming from, for a little bit now. I checked my tie rods and balls joints, everything is nice and tight and has been greased. i thought maybe it was an ungreased tierod. I just recently replaced my idler arm and i do believe this bump was there before i replaced the arm. It seems to be getting worse now.

    At first i thought maybe i bought the wrong idler arm (i found out later after i bought and installed my arm that the idler arm comes with two different bolt patterns) but i figured if it was wrong it wouldnt fit. Everything undereath feels nice and tight but i cant figure out wtf is popping.

    it seems like it usually happens when i turn the wheels and hit a bump in the road. If i hit the bumps straight on it doesnt really happen.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    those are brand new and intact lol im wondering if it could have anything to do with control arm bushings, my drivers side bushings are looking pretty rough. i didnt check the passenger.
