Hey, Ok I know that there have been numerous threads about this but my is a little different. People say that it is the TC rods that are shot and making the noise but for everyone else it is happening when they hit like any bump or anything on the road but mine happens when I shift only from 1 to 2 and 2-3 Its wierd. I havnt had time yet to get under there and take a look but hopefully trommorrow I will be able too.

So does anyone have any ideas or tips or anything?? Thanks

it will probably be apparent when you get under there and look. Probably motor mounts but there are lots of bolts under there holding things together so just give them a good checking

Well I figured it out It must be a combination of the control arm's ball joint and the T/C rod bushings too.

So now Im taking this opportunity to get me some tein tc rods and the control arms from pdm with the whiteline bushings pressed in. Ooooh I cant wait
