Bumping and Thumping
Had my alignment done about a week ago and now I've got problems worse than a pull to the right. The left rear wheel seems to bump at lower speeds, and smooths out as speed increases. The tire's fine, so I'm guessing CV joint or suspension. Anybody have a better idea? There's no clicking or any sound at all, just a the feeling, like the tire is flat.
Also, in the front, I'm hearing a little pop noise every now and again, sounds like from the right front wheel. Can't see anything noticably out of whack, so I'm really stumped here. The sound comes up in all sorts of situations -- mostly when turning the wheel (though never if I'm not moving), sometimes just in straight and level driving, sometimes when I hit a bump in the road. Any ideas here?
Thanks, all.

Burning Brakes
when alignment was done did they bother to balance the tires, did they take or accidentallt knock of the weights. are all the bolts tight on the half shafts?
good luck

Did you have the work done by NTB on the motor mile? Bad things they do to a 944, really bad. I'd bet that something is not properly torqued, rear eccentric plate, front caster/camber bolts? How are your tie rod ends?

Thankfully, I didn't have it done at the NTB -I've heard the horror stories. I'll have to check the tie rod ends more thoroughly - anything I should be looking for specifically?
