So from the long line of little things that needs to be replaced as my car reaches 8 years old...

I am now starting to hear this weird slight pining/knocking sound when I am going straight. The sound usually occurs when I start from a stop or when I'm over uneven road. The sound is very different to the sound I heard before I had to replace the rear control arm.

The sound is very faint - and I am convinced is coming from the front of the car. I can also sometimes feel a slight vibration from the steering wheel when I hear the sound. The car during all this time still tracks straight and drives fine.

My wild *** guess is that it's related to the pop/crack/slight seizing sound I hear almost every morning when initially get the wheels moving after I start the car. Which leads me to believe it's something related to the brakes.

It can of course also be hundreds of other things including suspension, bearings, wheel.

I am hoping someone here would of had this experience before and know what it's from.

Thanks in advance.

 

cv joints? bushings?... just guessing
