Right now I am thinking that it may be the front sway bar endlink. The noise is only at low speeds and seems consitant with some issues I read on other treads. I will check that out when I get some time. Any other potential low speed only clunk causers?

There is some problem with a low speed only suspension noise that I have not been able to identify. I will do a little searching on here and start a post in the suspension section if I do not find an answer.

Did you install the plastic piece from your OEM springs? It sits on the top of the coil spring. Lube up the end links and strut bar rubber cushions. Just a thought
