In the last month when ever I go over small bumps or potholes there is a noise that sounds like my front right strut is blown. So today I went down to Ford to have them check up on the struts because they would replace them under warrantee. But after 2 hours of labor they found out that it was my caster camber plates that were making the noise. I was wondering what in my Ford Racing caster camber kit could be causing this noise and how can I fix it? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TOPnotch</b> <br /><small>Member # 1340</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,12,21,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I had some mm camber caster plates and they started making noise.
