Ran over a dead deer, suspension noises??
 

I'll try to keep this short. About 2 or 3 weeks ago I was unable to avoid a dead deer in the road (truck on one side, guard rail on the other) so I had to straddle it. I knew I was gunna mes up the car but It was either that, or hit another vehicle. I ran over it at 65 mph and without being too graphic, my undercarriage looked like a meat factory. No physical body damage, thank goodness!!:icon_headbang: So besides the horrible smell, and burning deer on my exhaust, I drove the remaining 45 miles on the interstate back home. Car still drove straight, no steering vibration either. I thought I lucked out and just had to clean the car up.

The past few days I have noticed that the right front suspension makes some sort of "knocking" sound whenever the suspension extends. It doesnt do it when I go over a bump, only when there is a recess in the road and the shock extends. Any idea what it could be?

I moved away for college and all my tools are back home so I can't really get in there the check everything out.

better get it on a rack and have a look. could be something serious waitin to let lose.

I'll jack up the front end tomorrow and have a look.

may have something for the dog to chew on in there. lol.

hahaha maybe. I hope not. :(

Was the deer a buck? Maybe part of his rack got wedged up somewhere in the suspension.

No, it was a doe. I would've noticed something like that thought, because i crawled under the car the next morning to hose out the nastiness.
