Hit a pothole yesterday...
Little worried.
I hear a thumping or bumping sound as if someone was tapping their knuckle on the inside of the front left wheel well. Also with the driver side window slightly down I hear a ticking noise as if a rock is stuck in tread (which is what I thought it was) But the sound is best described as a suction cup being pulled off a window in rapid succession. More of a Tick + Pop noise I saw no visible damage on the tire/rim or the wheel well. The noise is pretty noticeable at lower speeds 30-40 mph and at 80 the tempo of the noise is fast enough to seem fluent and not an issue presently. I can however tell it is related to the wheel turning. When I apply brakes from 80mph to a slow down the sound gets louder and the tempo slows down all the way down to 30mph where the sound is at its normal volume. I'm thinking about taking the car in to see if there is any damage to the front suspension/wheel well/brakes. Even though my car is modded, warranty/insurance should cover that I believe yes? Since its not related to the engine/exhaust?

I do not believe warranty will cover any obvious impact damage. My advice would be to lift the car, get the wheel off and inspect the wheel and the suspension for any obvious damage or foreign object lodged in there.

Sorry I edited my post to include Insurance covering it if need be.

Luckily I'm playing chicken with my XT5 and its giant 235/65R-18s and the SS is safely ensconced indoors and blocked by boats that aren't moving until April to keep me from getting anxious and doing something stupid early! Doesn't help it was 55 here yesterday in the Motor City and 25 today! There's definitely some car-swallowers out there

So sorry to hear this
Wonder what would happen if 1) NE roads had a proper substructure, 2) pavers used high quality asphalt and 3) cities and townships used something other than mounds and mounds of corrosive salt and brine as friction enhancement (say, sand)... "but this is their job security", I hear you say—well, they could also build new roads or widen existing ones, because there are more cars and trucks driving on them... even repaving without massive potholes would be quite realistic, given how much heavier the average car/truck must be than 10-20 years ago, and EVs are making it even worse.

Even then, I doubt it would be perfect. You'd effectively have been able to completely remove the cause of "frost heaves" which bend and break the road surface when water underneath freezes, but water could still penetrate the road surface through damage and wear areas and the effect would be the same. What we would need would be a multi-layer roadway with a grated top surface that allows everything fall through (like a bridge's road deck) and onto a lower surface where it could drain away. In cold climates, the lower surface would need to be somehow heated so that snow could melt before running down into storm drains. |

That grated top surface of yours would have much less traction (boo) and it would be extremely noisy, plus heating the lower surface is just not feasible for millions of miles of roadway. More plowing, sand instead of salt, and proof of winter driving ability as part of license requirements, those would be my final suggestions

Right Front Tire 35psi - 0psi flat while driving on the highway. No tire damage, got car towed as an excuse to have them do a mechanical inspection in addition to fixing/replacing tire.

Check the top of the strut tower for damage. I’ve seen a few more posts than I’d like to see on these boards where people hit large pot holes that caused small cracks on the top of the strut tower. If you see one, you’ll definitely want to call your insurance.
