Hi! I am stuck and out of money. Ever since I got the tires changed on my 2013 Tucson (2 years ago), I’ve had a noise from the right front tire when going over bumps. I know for sure it is because I have recorded the sounds from each tire going over speed bumps. The noise seems to be when there is an extension/retraction of the arm? bar? spring? for that tire. It gets worse when it is warm, since I didn’t have the noise all winter. Now that it’s in the high 80s to 90s, it’s back. I just paid to replace the engine mounts and the front struts. I’ve done several things over that last two years trying to fix it, but no luck. I refused to let my mechanic change the CV joint on a “guess” that might help. Would really appreciate some hints on what to pursue. Thanks!

Step one is to change mechanics. This is not caused by a bad CV joint. My guess would be a bad ball joint or control arm bushing, which a competent mechanic should be able to find. A bad ball joint can fail and cause an accident so do not delay in getting this fixed. You might be very lucky if it turns out to be just a dry bushing or bad sway bar end link. ---

Thanks for the tip. I just edited my post to say that I changed the tires two years ago. Not likely something that would be survivable for that long? ---

It depends on how many miles you’ve driven, as well as the quality of your roads. Are you the original owner? Has the vehicle ever been used for off-roading? ---

I would suggest you might have a broken spring on that corner. Just the very last coil. Easy to spot by a competent mechanic… hint, yours isn’t as @NYBo points out. ---

No, I just got it maybe four years ago. Not a problem with it until the tire went flat and I had to change it. I’ve driven maybe 40k miles, not off road, but not in good condition.
