front noise

[DAF]

i got a problem with my fl century, it makes a noise on the front when i hit a pothole, like something wanna fall out. it is very much like when the shock are bad.
it's coming from the drive side. i just got new shocks, but the noise is still there. any idea?

thanks.

spring bushings probably are shot/not greased enough.

I second that motion. :wink:

Grease is cheaper than parts, and it's a lot easier to install. 8)

I'll tell you a quick story that's related:

I've been doing my grease once a month. I do notice a slight difference after I grease, so I thought maybe there was a better grease that would handle once a month greasings.

I tried a product from Chevron.

After 2 weeks, it was making those sounds you speak of(or close). Switched back right away.

I'm going to try 3 weeks on the original product(red tek).

Yeah, seems to work fine.

You have to remember I don't work very hard. 8k-10k miles a month.
