Thanks, this video was very helpful, my sway bar link bushes were bad, I replaced both links and my vehicle stopped making the noise, the two links costed me $26.00 and the labor was done for free for a good friend, a co-worker, I am very blessed, my car runs great.., Thanks
Out of all the videos online, when trying to record a sound your car makes when driving, never usually works out. Did a great job capturing the sound. Quick easy simple fix. About $15-$30 dollars to replace both on most cars.
I've had the same problem in my car for a couple of weeks now. Felt like the car was about to give way as i drive. Mechanic called it a Z-link instead so imagine how long it took me to find this video. Thank you!!
wow. thank you for this. i am a mechanic. i still look to youtube to learn & better my skill. i believe the best way to do this is through the wisdom & experience of someone more knowledgeable than me. my point to that is - i am on youtube this evening hoping to find someone who’s diagnosed & solved the tricky problem i’m dealing with & then i wound up on sway bar link videos somehow & noteably , none of them started off with any mention of what a bad link may sound like or helpful tips to diagnose one. sway bar link failures are one of the tricker noises to immediately recognize- at least for me , & esp a novice DIYer. so thank you for thinking of this crucial step in the process. this is the most helpful of all.
Question idk if the sway bar but my accord 2007 anytime I’m driving i drive on uneven road or post holes I can feel the car vibration or shaking wht could it be
Notice that he said he was a mechanic. These guys are the ones you want doing your repairs. Now, if anyone tells you that they're a master mechanic. Get in your car and drive away as fast as you can. Even if at the current moment the vehicle only has 3 wheels attached
Very useful info/video. Mine was completely rusted to hell. It took the guy a while to get them off, but after watching your video, I just bought the links and found a mechanic to put them on without paying $50 for them to check it. Runs like a CHAMP now!!!! 2000 Chrysler Concorde LXi Thanks bro!
I bought a used Pontiac G5 cheap, and it makes that noise, so I walked over to the lot nearby and told the owner this story. So he will have another look. You are brilliant. Thank you so much.
Hi Jyarf, Just like to say "THANK YOU" for taking the time to put this video on the Internet. I've been dogged for months with that rattle in my Holden Astra and was booked in to pay our local mechanic over $200 to repair what he diagnosed as a faulty tie rod causing the noise. After seeing your video I bought a new sway bar link for $40 and fitted it myself today in less than an hour. Problem solved! Thanks again for being such a great help.
My pleasure, I'm happy this helped. You are lucky that they weren't too hard to swap. Where I am they can be tricky at times because of road salt and rust.
OMG you are a genius!!! thank you so much for posting this video. Drove over a pothole a few weeks ago and ever since my car has been making that exact sound!!! multiple mechanics have looked at my car and said they are not able to find any issues with it, but everytime I drive on a bad road all I hear is clunking and clinging noise.
My Golf sounded JUST like that for the longest time and it never dawned on me that hey, maybe I should have that sound diagnosed and fixed. Then one day, I was thankfully only a few blocks from home, because it broke. Quite the noisy drive home with literal sparks flying!🤦♂
AHH!!! I've been looking for the problem forever now! Just today I went to a garage and they couldn't tell me the issue. This is the EXACT sound my exploder makes when putting pressure on the left front tire or if it rolls over a bump or anything else uneven. Thanks!
Literally couldn’t figure out for a week why my car was making the noise and couldn’t find any vids that had the same problem and ofc after I diagnose and fix it myself I find this vid lmao
I. Love. You. I've had this issue where it sounds like you're about to fall through the bottom. I stopped driving my car for a year!!! I just changed my struts with a friend. It was good for a day and then again the same noise. I appreciate you man!
Bro finallyyyyy this is exactly what my car sounds like. It like comes and goes tho. Sometimes it’s bad and other days I don’t even hear it. But this is definitely the sound! Thank you
I actually have the same sound going on with my chrysler sebring 06.When I go over bumps really.Its been like that for some months honestly.I thought it was coming from my trunk or something.Wasnt so sure,But now I know where to check.Thanks for the video too,Helped alot.
This was incredibly helpful. I'm getting this noise (or sounds like it anyhow) and have been for weeks. I took it to a place i've never been, they said I need new struts and strut mounts (~$1200). I have a pretty reliable BS meter, and it was going off, so I didn't get the work done. I think you may have saved me a ton of money. Thanks for sharing.
It took me over six months to figure this out with my car. I took it to the dealership twice and they said everything was good. They even suggested rocks were trapped in the fender well or something like that. It has been annoying the crap out of me but I'm glad I found the issue. I was ready to replace my front struts if it came down to it.
It's amazing how mechanics sometimes miss simple stuff like this. Mine assured me that mine were fine, and then I found the problem myself by doing a simple rocking test on the car. I've replaced other parts on their recommendation, and I found the problem, not them in the end!
This is amazing. Thank you so much for posting this.I thought it was the sway bar links in my truck but now im sure. Wish more people posted videos like this.
Thanks! Ive been chasing this noise for awhile and never would have guessed that the links were bad. I was almost going to rebuild the front end for a $25. fix
THIS IS MY EXACT SOUND THANK YOU MAN! Im gonna try to replace it. I got scared it sometimes sound metal bending together or I thought it was my wheel bearing.
Holy shit that's exactly what i hear when I drive. You nailed it on making this video. You just saved me a ton of time and headache trying to figure it out. Extremely helpful idea you had. Although its the same sound im gona have look just in case. But now i know where to look first. Thanks again!
THANKS SO MUCH! This is exactly the sound my car is making. Peculiar to me however, is that it is only very audible in HOT weather. The sound your car was making though is the sound mine is making.
I love you for sharing this video! Thank you - precisely the noise my car has been making - even after they changed (been a while - not 100% on the name) strut bearings. Had asked them if they noticed anything else and they said they didn't. Yet, the noise continued. So, I doubt I'll be taking it back to them for future service. Thanks again!
THANK YOU! This is the exact sound I've been hearing on my Subaru and after getting a diagnostic from the mechanic, sure enough a "very loose ball joint" came up. I know what to prioritize over the litany of other repairs they suggested.
Only hear noise with window open until now recently but only when driving higher than 35 mph, so far the other side ok. Sounds less loud than the video you shared. Just bought my rogue sport 18 and causing me headaches with replacing strunt in the back too and now something new at only 61,000.
"You're not gonna die or anything. Now, don't quote me on that if you die because of it." Rotflol. Good vid. Though it sounded like I heard more of knocking in addition to creaking noises ..meaning the shock mounts might also be out.
Sounds like the exact problem I having. I replaced the control arms thinking that was the problem. It wasn't. Will try the sway bar replacement. The boot is really crusty and rotten. Thanks for the video!!!
A couple weeks? I've been driving around like this a month now and the noise keeps getting worse so finally searching what it could be. Thank you so much for the video! I think this might be it. Just the noise goes a little faster especially on the freeway. I thought maybe it was the sound of the wind going through the front part hanging on by zip ties 😂235,000 going strong!
@@Oracol lol no. Still driving around. My friends husband is a mechanic and checked the belts and said they look good and it doesn't jump out as any common issue but it's deft not normal but he would need to move things around to get to where we hear it. Oddly he can't hear it outside the van or under hood. Only inside van . I saw something on youtube about the heat shield flapping ? Hoping it's just the noise from something like that.
Thanks for posting this. Your video has helped me hear it from another car. I chucked my car on a rack the other day and gave it a good look over however did not grab and shake these parts to see how they are holding up. I am not used to having a car with them as fancy as they are (tie rod ends). The sway bar mounts can lead to knocking as well but not as frequent of knocking per my experience. P.S.: If i die, Sir, i will QUOTE YOU!!!! HA! (Volvo S80 2004)
Oh my Lord...I have been asking mechanics, and friends and some people who should be concerned about the welfare of their family members what this noise was for the LONGEST time....I guess it would help if I didn't take the backroads that are unpaved when I want to make a quick run to the market. Thanks for this very descriptive video and I just had my brakes changed out and the wonderful mechanic showed me what was wrong with the sway bar link. Snapped in two pieces on Both sides not just one...WHAT? How does this happen?
the sway bar places pressure across itself and the links when the body of the rolls during cornering, keeping the body more stable. when the links get old and brittle, they cant take the pressure as well. so when you turn hard with some old links, they might break
the swaybar is a connection between your springs on either side of the car, so hitting a large pot hole with one tire or having the car bouncing side to side can also cause them to break probably
Thank you so much for posting this. As I was researching thought my vehicle had a sway bar issue, listened to your video and yes it is! It is awesome that people do this, so I know what the heck is going on!
I have had this yesterday,it is even worse than on this video, you get the impression the whole suspension is coming apart ,especially at low speed over bumps, pretty big noise for such a small part.
My 2021 Acura ILX, same noise from the rear suspension area. I thought the noise from the trunk, but it was not. I will go to the dealer soon. Thank you for your video.
intermittent clinking/thunking sound After coming home from a camping trip, my 99 4Runner had an intermittent clinking sound on the passenger side. Never could figure out the rhyme or reason until my brother jumped up and down on the front bumper while I watched underneath. It was a loose bolt on the sway bar link. Two people is better than one trying to figure it out.
Just had my struts replaced, thought it was strut mount. But this sounds like my issue 🤔 thanks for the video! Well I went back to the shop today, changed out those Links and all is good now!
This is literally my same issue. A day and half of work and i feel like my hand grip is equal to a crocodiles bite. I’m gonna check out the parts online and hopefully I can be down with the sway bar link? Any helpful tips or recommendations for sway-bar removal?
@@MeowBangBang92 I actually had done at a suspension shop. They changed struts in the morning, I thought that was it. I left and went back an hr later lol asked them to put in new links. That noise has been bothersome for a long time now, so glad it’s gone.
Had one replaced on my 2001 Buick Lesabre and now I own a 2005 Buick Lesabre and I think one of them broke when drove over a crater of a bump this afternoon because the sound is the same. It's going in the shop tomorrow to be checked. Thank you for your video.
Thank you!!! This was very helpful!!! This is the issue I have. I have peeked under my car and one of the sway bar links is broken. I have been riding around town for about a year with this now. I think time to fix it. "don't quote me if you die" hhahahhaha
Saumya Get it fixed ASAP. I had a broken right one for a about a year too then the left one broke and it caused me to get into an accident, flip my car and run into a house. Now I’m fighting legal issues left and right.
Titanium_BMW oh good lord! I hope everything turns out okay for you. I took it last week to my mechanic. My mechanic needed some parts that we are waiting on. But definitely not going to be driving it until it gets done.
How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough? Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
very helpful that is the same thing my car is making and its driving me nuts!!! my mechanic said it was the struts/shocks...but I don't even know if they were sure about that....so im gonna go into the shop today to have them check out the sway bar.....thank you
Helpful Video thanks!! I like the disclaimer - "You're not going to die or anything I wouldn't imagine... now... don't quote me on that if you die because of it... (silence)... I... will not be responsible for that.... Anyways"
Sounds like my vehicle when I go slow. My mechanic thought it was the cv axle, which I didn't have him replace, since it doesn't click. Second opinion was sway bar and control arm with bar (trying to charge me $1400 for two control arms, 2 sway bar links, 4 hrs of labor, and alignment). I'm seeking out another opinion, due to the price.
Hi Jyarf, you helped diagnose the problem in my car. Thanks a lot. However, if i die because of my car's broken sway bar before i take my car to a repair shop, I'm not gonna quote on you!
Thanks heaps man, i just installed new suspension in my 1993 bmw e36 coupe and was getting this exact noise and i thought i was smashing my suspension bumpstops but i was like "nah sounds way too metallic to be rubber bump stops" now i know what i need to replace!

the g5's are terrible for struts also,99% chance it needs them if it has over 150,000 km and they arent cheap like sway bar links

If you dont get it fixed however, it will wear down your tire tread very quickly. So just be very cautious. That can get dangerous after a while

I have had this 'rattling noise' for a couple months and am pretty sure this is what is wrong. Next, a trip to my mechanic!! This was a helpful video.
Very much appreciated! Truck sounds just like yours and after more research, I can confirm that I have the same issue.
Oh shit thats the sound! And its crazy when i hit a pothole! Thanks
I just found out i need struts, strut mounts, and tie rod ends. I just bought a whole front and rear suspension kit for a 2010 maxima
"Don't quote me on that if you die.." 🤣🤣
lmao i know!
you have saved my time i have been trying to understand that sound yet no mechanic can tell me
Thank for the video, just confirms what I already knew but a thorough second opinion is always great.
Don't "quote" me if you die
How do I get to heaven? Will my good deeds be measured against my bad deeds? Do I need to be a good person to go to heaven? How do I know if I'm good enough?
Well the bible says no man is good, for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. So how do we get to heaven? Answer: By believing on Jesus Christ who took the punishment for our sin on the cross. There are no amount of good works we can do to achieve salvation because salvation is a free gift of God. We need to humble ourselves, realize we are sinners and that we need a savior.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Lmao, "dont quote me on that if you die", awesome lol
Spot on! Been hearing that sound for a while on my Chev Sonic. Having it fixed as we speak!
Hey buddy, i believe this is what is wrong with my Ford. Thanks for the informational video!!!
yes thank you so much. Mine is just like that.

exactly what my car sounds like right now thank you hope this takes care of the problem
This confirmed my suspicions for my skyline, thanks for the video mate
Other similar clunking sounds are bad ball joint , inner tie rod, or outer tie rod..
I explained it as an old haunted house groaning/creaking in the wind 😂🤷🏻♀️ but totally the same sound as mine right now.
I described it as going up an old wooden roller coaster.. that clink clink clink
Thanks for helping me with this problem ! Install brand new sway bar links and the noise is GONE!!!!
very helpful that is the same thing my car is making and its driving me nuts!!! my mechanic said it was the struts/shocks...but I don't even know if they were sure about that....so im gonna go into the shop today to have them check out the sway bar.....thank you
Helpful Video thanks!!
I like the disclaimer - "You're not going to die or anything I wouldn't imagine... now... don't quote me on that if you die because of it... (silence)... I... will not be responsible for that.... Anyways"
Sounds like my vehicle when I go slow. My mechanic thought it was the cv axle, which I didn't have him replace, since it doesn't click. Second opinion was sway bar and control arm with bar (trying to charge me $1400 for two control arms, 2 sway bar links, 4 hrs of labor, and alignment). I'm seeking out another opinion, due to the price.
Just bought a control arm kit for 70 dollars and if its not that the front and rear sway bar kit cost 56.
Hi Jyarf, you helped diagnose the problem in my car. Thanks a lot. However, if i die because of my car's broken sway bar before i take my car to a repair shop, I'm not gonna quote on you!
Thanks heaps man, i just installed new suspension in my 1993 bmw e36 coupe and was getting this exact noise and i thought i was smashing my suspension bumpstops but i was like "nah sounds way too metallic to be rubber bump stops" now i know what i need to replace!
