What's briscoe? Don't be suprised if same shock goes bad

It's a brand of shocks, considered to be very durable. Discuss with ur local dealer or mechanic.

There is clung sound coming from the driver's front side shock when I go over a bump or pothole in my 2011 camry. I have replaced the front shocks with kyb and the sound still persists. Tie rod end, sway bay bushing etc. all checked out. I am very uncomfortable with the noise.

No delta , my own sound is like aluminum sound, like the body of the motor is compressing each time the back tire climbs a high side of the bad road and it pop's outs on a leveled road.
