[sirroberts1288]

i have a 1993 s10 blazer.and there is an weird noise coming from my driver side.and when i make a left turn it makes a loud thump,when i turn back it makes the same sound again.my dad said that it is the wheel caliber.

i dont know what it is. i lubed all ball joints.i know it has nothing to do with the brakes or the tires.so could anyone tell me whatt is wrong.


thnks

A-Arm bushing, ball joints, stearing stablizer, shocks, anti sway bare link kit(stearing stablizer).
Is this a 4x4?

Does it sound like a large piece of metal thumping somewhere near the floorboard?
Does it usually happen on low speed turns, especially if there’s a bump?
Is it the kind of sound that makes passengers scared to ride with you?

It’s probably the torsion bar support insulator/s.
They’re a rubber mount, somewhat like a motor mount, that hold the torsion bar support to the frame rails. The rubber separates from the metal and allows the support to hit the frame as one torsion bar loads and the other unloads in a turn.

You can test it with a bar or light pressure from a jack. If the rubber separates from the mount, it needs to be replaced.

2WD has coil springs, no torsion bar.
Go with G.A.S's suggestions.

Slap me silly.I forgot about the coils. It could even be a coil spring.
