After replacing my strut cartridge this week, I am noticing sound coming from the front right of the car.
It's a minor sound, but rather annoying to hear over bumps.
The sound seems to go away at speeds higher than 30mph.
Seems to be more prevalent over small bumps in the road rather than large bumps.
I checked my control arm bushings, ball joint and tie rod (new as of last Winter) and they seem stiff and secure.
The passenger side anti-sway bar bushing is a tad worn and could use replacement, but I don't believe that's the source of the noise.
I did notice, that the brake disc (rotor) itself has some play, up and down & side to side.
Is this a sign of a warped rotor, bad bearing, hub or something else?
While swapping the strut cartridge, I did inadvertently jack the assembly by the center of the rotor/hub, could this have damaged one of the components?
I gave the rotor a few taps with a soft mallet and double-checked the set screws.
The face of the rotor and the back of the wheel seem smooth and without defects.
