Front end clunking

spearfish25 · 10-29-2010, 04:49 PM

Loving the speculation!

Jacked her up, took her cover off, and had a look up her skirt. And the problem was....nothing. Saw that one coming. Strut mounts, sway mounts, engine mounts, end links, essentially every bolt I could find under there was a-OK. Oil drain plug was where it should be. I keep the A/C compressor off with the cool temps as the accessory fan makes the oil cooler overly effective during the fall/winter/spring.

Either I'm hearing things or this issue will present itself later. Regardless, I'm going to add some Whiteline end links to my spring to-do list.

I'll revive this thread from the dead sometime down the road if I ever locate the issue. Thanks to everyone for their input.

I had some noises over bumps and it was the grease on the sway bar bushings that had dried up. I re-lubed the inside of the bushing and no more noise. It was a squeaky clunk noise.

Funny you mention that. I just placed an order for a grease gun and some over-priced Hotchkis special silicone lube. They did look a bit dry. Anyone else tired of taking the undertray off the car?
