Suspension Problem

[BanginLS]

I have an 02 V6 lincoln LS... when i go to park in the parking garage at work its fine to get in.. but when i'm leaving i can hear noises coming from my wheel well... i have 20's so i'm thinkin maybe my bushings are bad.. im still under warranty.. any ideas?

anyone?

could be ball joints, stabilizer bushings. wheel bearings...could also be wheels rubbing. if you get it while turning the wheel at a stop my vote is ball joint

and they probably WONT cover any of this under warranty with 20 inch wheels. I would swap wheels before taking to dealer.

ya.. i plan on puttin my stocks on to take it to the dealership.. but it doesnt rub when i drive over anything.. i mean.. at times when i get a really bad bump i will rub.. but its not a rubbing noise.. u hear metal crackin and hitting against something..

Put the stock ones on and take it to the dealer. Let em figure it out. I have some light knocking sounds too from my front, I don't know what causes it. The dealer checked the car out and they said that everything is OK.

light knocking is more than likely sway bar bushings. they typically don't look bad until bar is removed.
