F22 Driver Side Noise

iberro2 · 08-24-2023, 10:48 AM

Hey everyone, anyone driving an F22 notices a muted clunking or knocking noise from driver side when driving on small bumps with low speed like 15 / 20 mph? Whats weird that it drove me crazy to the point I changed my struts and thrust arms yet still there.

Thanks in advance!

Since the day I bought it. Almost everything suspension related has been replaced for track duty and that just made it louder. I'm convinced they're just noisy cars.

Did you also change your strut top mounts?

I have this same noise and have been window shopping solutions but then I see a reply here saying they've replaced everything suspension related and that it may just be how the car is?

Any update on how it sounds now? Thanks!
