<VV> 1963 Convertible noise..

[Matt Nall]

Hi Guys..

I have a problem locating a noise in the front end of my car. (I think) It's 
going to be even harder to describe but here goes...It seems to happen, on an 
intermittent basis, when hitting a slight bump in a driveway when turning. It 
sounds, well maybe a bit like it's hitting the steering stop (if that exists?) 
or maybe like the spring shifts? A metal on metal, scraping sound.. I've looked 
underneath but don't see anything... but when it happens it's disturbing and 
somewhat loud. and I can't tell which side it's coming from..  

Does something need greasing? Any idea how I can find out what's going on?

==========================================


IF you car is equipped with a front stabilizer / anti-sway bar...  the rubber bushings!


Otherwise  a spring has "Bowed"  and is scrapping on the pocket it sets in..


 Typical of 50 year old cars.
