Front suspension noise

2016 camaro ss w/mrc. Thought it was the strut making all this ungodly noise. I just replace the lt front strut...but the freaking noise is still there. Sounds like the car is bottoming out. Such a ******* loud noise. I checked the sway bar links they are tight...Also steering wheel control makes a like I am going to snap anytime soon sound when I move it all the way to the left and right. Guess the mfer going to the dealer because I am out of option.

Have you had the steering recall performed yet?

If so,

Have you tried to get under there while someone is turning the wheel back and forth?

take a close look at all the bearings and joints. Upper strut mount to control arms and tie rods. If you aren't sure about a part, drive to a Chevy dealer while they are closed and take a look at a new one.

My last advice still holds, it'll be easy to pin down the noise with your head near it.

To me it looks like the lower control arm for the front suspension boot is blown. There is grease all around it compared to the other side is clean. I can pull the boot down, the metal o-ring that holds the grease in the boot is gone, it the one that is attached to the knuckle. Could a blown lower control arm make this kind of noise??
