I have a front end "clunk". It happens when I turn, go over bumps, and brake hard. It isn't just one clunk also, it is several all at once like maybe something is rubbing another part. Occasionally it happens on acceleration but not always.
I searched but I have some questions. I put my car on a lift at work and the following check out okay:
- tie rods / ends
- ball joints
- swaybar bushings and end links
- power steering rack bushings
- control arm bushings
- the u-joints seem tight.. I don't really know what to check but I'm not getting any vibration at any speeds 85 mph and below.
I read some stuff about the coil spring isolators and shock mounts.. Is there anything special I have to do to replace these pieces? Do I need any kind of strut compressor or special tool? What else should I check or take note of?
