Hello all:

I've noticed lately that when rounding a curve at speed (and esecially if I'm turning to the right, like an off ramp) and hitting a bump, the front end of the car feels like something is loose and there's a noticable noise from what I think is the suspension.

I'm riding on 16" wheels with Continental Sport Contacts.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I'd check over your rubber bushings, possibly a tie rod or the like. Also if your bushings look alright, consider the ball joints (I had a 190E with a weird sound, slight metal scraping when I hit a bump or dip, I changed the tierods and other parts, but it turned out to be the ball joint). Keep in mind if your driver's side suspension parts look like they are worn and need replacing, the pass. side is not far away and you might want to get both done at one shot.
