: Hey guys, I test drove the mav i was looking at today. It has been sitting out on thier lot for about 3 months now, but the thing started right up. Besides the front end knocking when i go over bumps and the break pedal needing to be stepped on by an elephant, nothing was wrong (that i saw). Anyways, is that front end knocking just like the shocks or something, or does it mean that the front end is going to collapse? i sure hope not! they are selling it to me for $500.... i just hope i can get the loan tomorrow.
:Front end noise could also be bad end links on the sway bar. It's hard to trouble shoot noise on the internet, however for $500 if nothing else is wrong with it, it's a good buy. Brakes and suspension rebuilt will cost some money, but if someone else already did it you'd be paying a higher price.
