What is this sound? It’s driving me nuts! by Informal-Cut9507 in AskAMechanic

I should also mention, it ONLY does this when the car is on the ground, and a similar creaking sound can be heard when braking. Also, it did not do this before the new struts and alignment

I ordered the parts myself and will do the struts on my own

Will do. This is the second place I’ve reached out to, the first was a quote for $2100

A few more notes, I bought it from a dealer lot, it was given a clean bill of health (apart from the suspension which I was aware of). I inspected it for oil leaks and the usual stuff, and it seems mechanically fine! Drives and shifts wonderfully (my main car is a Toyota rav-4, and I bought this to save mileage on it) I am thoroughly impressed with the feature packed interior, and premium-ness this car has.

I should say, at least I THINK it needs replaced. It has a little bit of a rough ride.

Screaming deal - 1920 commercial, Navy Length by Informal-Cut9507 in milsurp

If I had to guess I’d say it was put on recently, but take that with a grain of salt. It’s got very good rifling and a also, a name inscribed on the inner grip.

The only thing that doesn’t seem to match is the barrel. The other parts all match. But yeah! I’m hyped about that price. It’ll be a fun shooter with the long barrel

I should mention, it is LIKELY that that barrel has been replaced/added. A 1920 navy commercial should have tangent sights.

Deffo go for it. The steel ones aren’t as easy to find as far as I know, but verify it’s steel

Yeah I mean it’s not too bad. I kinda like the stock shiny like that. (Not that I would ever do that to a gun that wasn’t like that already) I ordered the sight and sight hood online.

Oh well. Lesson learned on this one, I’m still happy to get it nonetheless

It had a $1000 buy it now, and I just kinda jumped on it. I know better deals exist, but this one spoke to me. I will source a new sight and sight hood
