Weird sound when decellerating/accelerating

[firecadet613]

On my '95 Blazer I can here a kind of knock/pop sound coming from the left front when I accelerate or brake, it sounds like it is making it when the weight of the vehicle shifts, I had both upper and lower ball joints replaced.  Anyone have this problem before? Or know how to fix it?

I'll throw a guess in here.. check your sway-bar bushings and link bushings. Sometimes the center bushings where the bar bolts to the frame can get misaligned or slide out and lets the bar contact the frame.

Ok I'll check that out.  I'm bringing it into auto class tomorrow and tossing it on the lift.  I'm hoping its that, that is only like a $5-10 fix for new bushings.

95Yukon has a very good point.  That center bushing does get bad and it can sometimes make a sound like a brake rotor...

Shaners - That is the description I have been searching for.  It does sound like it would be a brake rotor.  I've looked under my truck while it's in my garage.  There are a link at each end and then two evenly spaced in the middle, couldn't tell if any were good or bad yet.
