rbastedo Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 My wifes 210 is making a bad bump bump bump noise when she brakes, especially downhill. While replacing the clutch in the car this past weekend I took a look at the suspension. There's a piece on the passenger side above the steering arm parts and bolted to the frame that looks like it should have a bushing but there isn't any in it. What is that part called so I can order a new one or some bushings to fix it? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Idler arm? Pics help. Quote Link to comment
rbastedo Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Are there diagrams of a basic stock 210 front suspension online somewhere? In the meanwhile I'll do some searching, should have done that first but I was stung multiple times by hornets over the weekend and my hands are very swollen. Excuses, Excuses - I know I should have tried to find the info myself but I was hoping someone could just read my mind and have the answers without me doing much work. Quote Link to comment
