Q: Slight sound underneath my car.

asked by on December 15, 2016

Im driving a Ford Everest 2009 model 4x2 automatic transmission. I recently upgraded my tires and my rim and ive also add a wheel spacer and also i have change my shocks and ive also done a lift up for about two inches only. Before wheel alignment was done by a mechanic he told me to change my lower and upper ball joint, idler arm, tie rod end, and pitman arm. As weeks past ive observe a slight sound underneath my car especially when i drive by a hump or a bad road and also when im trying to slow down to park my car. Pls i need your advice coz the mechanic im having right now cant seem to solve the problem. Thanks a lot
