So THAT's what that noise is!

[barefootwestie]

For 8 years I have been driving around with a knock from the passengers side. Wouldn't happen everytime I hit a bump but 80% of the time. Kept thinking maybe it was the sliding door. Kept checking it...asking the boys in the back "Is it the sliding door?" Nope.

Maybe the front seat...took the front seat out...still knocks. Maybe the glass in the door...nope. Tried shaking the door. No Knocking. Bounce the bus up and down no knock.

Maybe it's not inside the bus...begin to check around the front wheel. Wheel is solidly on, brakes are secure. Grab the shock and lo and behold...the shock is loose. Not alot, but two turns of the wrench and it's tight again. I have no idea why hadn't noticed it before.
