CLUNK..........

[denguy]

Whenever I hit a slight bump in the road I hear a light clunk from somewhere in the front end. Anyone have an idea about this?

First thing would be to check all the suspension connection points in front: Struts, LCAS and Sway bar. Must be something badly worn or loose.

I have a light clunk noise also. Have had it a very long time. Has never gone away or gotten worse. Just one of the things I live with. Think it is the spring moving around in the perch. Everything is in good shape.

Usual method of tracking it down is to get under the car with a pry bar or large screwdriver or tire iron and wedge it between things and see if you can get them to move. If you have time to watch Youtube videos a search on diagnosing front end noise you can see other tricks like jumping up and down on the bumper or rocking the car back and forth using the gears, clutch, and brakes. I had a tricky one, loose brake rotor bolts after I replace the rotors. Another is the pinch bolt on the control arm (ball joints). If it gets loose there is a clunk when you go over bumps. Good luck.

Check what everyone else said. I had a clunk i couldnt figure out for a while. Checked all the suspension stuff a couple times. Turned out the bracket on my catch can broke and it would clunk at starts stops... lol

My stock front springs are cut one coil and I get that too. Didn't have the clunk before cutting them. Gonna go to coilovers this summer anyway.

I had a clunk over bumps, it turned out to be the subframe member holding the engine in fell off on the front. The engine was pushing down via the subframe bracket onto the sway arm. The whole front felt loose though :-)

Check Steering Rack on the passenger side.

Raise car and turn wheels by grabbing them and suddenly applying force.

I found that he bottom bracket on my coilovers had a tiny bit of play which made that clunk every time I began to turn the wheels while stationary
