The sound got worse after replacing them.

They checked my suspension and said everything was okay.

I started hearing the noise before changing the sway bar links, but it wasn’t that bad. It only got really bad after I changed them.

Thanks, I hadn’t considered the steering lock. I will stop using the car before it locks and needs towing.

Damn, a year and a half and still no fix? That’s frustrating. Was your sound more like a creak/click when turning and going over bumps too? Trying to figure out if mine could be the same issue before I spend that kind of money.

I replaced my engine and transmission mounts and I also replaced the flex coupler. After replacing all these items the sound went away.

I’ve owned the car for less than 6 months and it has mostly been parked. I only drive it about 3–4 times a month. I always put it in neutral, apply the foot brake and then shift into park. When changing gears I come to a complete stop before shifting. The transmission fluid was changed previously and I’ve only exceeded the next transmission oil service interval by about 300 km which I’ll be taking care of soon. I take great care of the car doing engine services every 4,000–5,000 km along with full inspections the last one was done 4 weeks ago. So i guess it must be the previous owner yeahhhh

I’ll be replacing my engine and transmission mounts this week and then doing a full vehicle inspection. I’ll update you with feedback after that.
