    Does anybody know what this noise could be coming from? The car has about 8000miles on it
    You can hear the high pitch grinding noise that sounds springy and grinding. Also I couldn't capture it but it also makes some kind of knocking noise as well..

    In terms of modding, this car is 100% stock. I crossed the country from East Coast to West Coast a couple month ago. And got some rainy day off roading a little bit.

    In that case, it’s a predicament my friend. It sounds like loose metal clonking. I’m pretty sure you’ve already looked around the front end. May be something around the skid plate. Did you do anything non- mod related at all?

    Ask my accountant
    Check skid plate bolts. I had a loose one once that jingled and clunked a bit on rougher roads and potholes and such.

    Sounds like a rock stuck in the backing plate on the front brakes.

    Its pissed cuz you keep calling it a car!

    Check the front/radiator supprt body mount bushings. It's a common problem.
