Thread: Clunking suspension

  1. #1

    Default Clunking suspension

    I've got a clunk in my front right suspension under hard braking or left turns. I don't think the control arms are contacting anything. Have my alignment bolts given up the ghost?

    ^I give up, have they? Hard to say, but alignments bolts would be way down my list of usual suspects (unless it was just aligned).

    I'll be looking under the car tomorrow when I get a chance. Last alignment was a long time ago (sometime last year). What else should I look out for?

    Jack it up and Shake the hell out of the wheels . Tighten everything .common for upper shocks mount bolts coming loose and making noise . A arm bolts ? Anything you removed to install shocks

    I'm going to suggest the sway bar end links are either loose, or the hole(s) is wallowed-out.

    Could be as simple as front-sway bar bushings need lubed.

    Check the nut on top of the shocks.
    M3 is always the answer.

    Default Clunking suspension

    I know it's not a clunking, but are there the little plastic shims between the shock mount and body on the front? Or only the rear?
