HELP WITH "DRAGGING" noise in SVX
 
First I would do a search for this but I dont know what to search for....remember when we used to have air shocks on everything we owned and when you went over a bump the tires would drag making a scraping, draggin noise? Well my svx started doing that in the rear, now the front seems to be doing it too! Sorry for the bad description but its the only way i can think of to describe it.
ANY IDEAS????

Check under the car for dead bodies yet?

Its only when you hit a bump smarta$$. LOL, its like a scraping noise. Your prolly not old enough to remember air shocks though! I am sure its something worn out , bushings , bearings, something, help me out a little more then dead bodies please!

Can you hear the noise if the car is not moving or running and someone pushes down on the car to simulate hitting a bump??

If you, or the person causing the strut travel can, try to localize the noise to a corner.

OK weve pushed and pulled on the corners of the car and CANT make it do it. Gonna take hubby for a ride in the AM to see what he thinks....I just cant figure it out but I KNOW its there.

Check to see if the "keepers" for the plastic inner fender wells/skirt are all there. I know for sure The wind will push the fender back into the tire on the front.

Does it make that sound every time you go over a bump? Mine does this when it is cold and I'm first starting out - I think it's old suspension bushings but I've never confirmed or checked it out. They're only 15 years old :eek:
Anyway, after driving a bit the sound goes away.

OK I drove my husband around today and he says it sounds like shocks or something, (it doesnt say PETERBILT so he really has no clue :rolleyes: or interest) All the fenders keepers are in place too. I did show him that the front does it too, if it were the shocks wouldnt it do it when you rocked it sitting still? Hubby said "well they are 15 years old, what do you expect?" but what I expect is for it not to make sounds like the old bed when I go over bumps!!!!! :) :D :D :) :p
