Suspension shop near Allentown PA?

ScubaruImpreza05 · 02-14-2013, 10:43 AM

Put Tokico D-specs on my 06 2.5i a few weeks ago. Since then I have been having a weird noise in the front end. I took the wheels off and looked around for anything that looked loose or broken and found nothing. It's very easy to hear in the cabin and easy to replicate, I just can't figure out what it is.

Anyone have a shop they use for suspension near or around Allentown PA? I'd prefer a shop that is recommended over a mom and pop who is just going to throw parts at it based on assumptions, meanwhile racking my bill up and filling their pockets.

not a suspension specific shop, but Area1320 is in your neck of the NE Extension

I second Area1320. They are in Whitehall these days.

Alright guys, thanks for the responses. I just left a message on their phone (area 1320) and waiting to hear back from them. They are close by ( a few minutes away) from where I live so that is hopefully perfect!

Ryan is no stranger to Subaru's. You'll be in good hands.

Went and saw Ryan this afternoon, awesome guy! He was able to immediately tell on a test drive it was the right front endlink. I will be grabbing some Kartboy endlinks and possibly a Whiteline kit for the ball joints and tie rod ends as well. Good Stuff! Thanks for the suggestions guys!

Honest Bob · 02-19-2013, 07:04 AM

Glad to hear its something cheap!

Do some research on that ball joint kit. I think there are some people that are disappointed with the quality, especially on track cars. Boots ripping, ball joints not fitting tight.

Ben- the older white line roll center kits were like that. The new ones have an updated boot design. All is well with the new ones

Levi- good to meet you!

+1 as a Whiteline Performance Center, we've seen WL go through plenty of updates over the years and the newer style ones have great boots and fitment.

Glad to see the OP was able to get the great service Ryan provides!
