about 2 months ago i was parked in a very steep rocky lot. when i went to leave the lot i had to floor it in order to get out of the lot. since then, i have had a reoccuring noise coming from the front end. the noise has become more frequent recently and especially when i break. i have had new breaks installed and new tires put on.

i dropped my car off at sears automotive and was told that my struts were leaking and needed to be replaced - so they replaced the front struts and told me that should fix the problem (aka the noise should stop). as i was leaving i heard the noise again. we called the dealer and they said to check the sway bar links.

could there be anything else causing this noise?
