Hello,
Just for some context, I have installed the fox 2.0 suspension, and 1.5" wheel spacers, both over 2+weeks ago and have had an alignment done.
Yesterday I noticed a strange sound coming from what sounds like under the car near the front, closer to the drivers side (that part could be wrong since I can only hear is when the car is in motion..and I am sitting in the drivers seat with my head out the window like an idiot.)
I have some experience, but not enough. The sound appears to only be made while the wheels/axle/brake calipers/whatever are rotating. It seems like once a rotation
I am going to best try and describe the sound. It sounds like to me (not that it is this, just trying to paint an auditory picture) when a ball joint isn't greased enough, or when metal is moving across metal and created a slight vibration from the friction/"sticking." It is not a grating sound or metal wrenching sound. It is.....frog like. It is loud enough to be heard in the vehicle with the windows up and can be felt through the floor board and in the brake pedal when moving slow enough. Slower the louder and more pronounced. The faster, it kind of "goes away."
Headed to the dealer tomorrow, but curious to hear what people think.
