I did however just replace my aging Bridgestone Ecopias with Continental Cross Contact LX20 EcoPlus tires. I gotta tell you, damn fine tire. Smooth and QUIET. Great grip in the twisties and awesome in the rain. Have yet to test snow but I'll report back after this weekend.



While I was doing that....I decided to replace the lower control arms, thrust arms, coolant reservoir, and do an oil change. I also checked the brakes.



Odd thing. After the suspension update, I am getting this annoying knocking noise front the front end on bumps. It sounds like everything is old and worn. Steering is tight and suspension feels spot on its just that annoying knock. What the hell am I missing? Sway bar end Links? Is it that stupid upper wishbone?


The control arms!,,, were those torqued at ride height or perhaps vehicle on lift or jack stand?
