458 help- squeaks coming from front

Hey guys. Whenever I pull into a driveway, I hear a knock/sound coming from the right front end. If i were turning left into the driveway, the sound would be on the right. If i turn right into driveway, it would be on the left. The car is lowered on novitec springs. Could this be because it's lowered, it's doing something thats causing this sound? Also, when i am going over small bumps, i hear squeaks from the front as well. Anyone have this experience before I take it into ferrari and have them troubleshoot?

 

Jack the front up and take the wheels off, try a pinch bar in a few suspension joints to find some slack

 

is it common to have slack in the joints though?

 

I have a 430 and it is normal but i understand the 458 is less prone

 

If I had to guess, which is all I'm doing, it's either bad ball joints or your tires rubbing up against the fenders due to your lowering below factory height.

 

I never experienced that in my 430. Check your ball joints.

 

Check bolts on the tire rims.

Bearings. Ask me how I know.

 

I have had the lot out over the years to replace a lot will hills parts

 

How do you know

 

my knocking noise was a failing wheel bearing

 

how much was it to fix?

 

The hub assembly itself is about $2200, plus a shop is probably going to charge 3-4 hours labor.

 

$8,967.53

 

not covered by the Power15 warranty either

 

What kind of knocking sound? Did your springs or front end squeak at all?

 

I have a Novitec setup as well, but no issues you are stating. Post a pic of your ride height and are you running the stock rims / tires like I am?
Here's my ride height...

 

yup. Same setup and look of it.

 

Tough call then, have to defer to the installer...
