STUMPED, weird clunking in front end?

[projectzemx3]

going up short steep driveways on a 45degree angle i get a loud clunk noise. wheel bearing was also whirring a little. throw it on the hoist, shake it down. passenger side all new steering components = very tight , driver side a bit of play from the wheel bearing, everything else is tight.

r/r wheel bearing put back together, every bolt tight. still clunking going into the steep tim hortons drive thru!?!?!, back on the hoist it goes i check my stab links for play, all is well.

what else can make that clunk?

i would describe the clunk as if something is stressing and then finally letting go.

thanks.

i have same problem..front passenger side clunks pullin into driveways everynow and then..im 99% sure its the struts..for my problem anyways...

I have the same issue and I believe it to be my struts or strut bearings...

Mooneggs, did you mean strut (top) mount? I just changed mine, it would bang/rattle any time I hit a bump on the road Anyone check their lower control arm, if the bushings are worn you can get a banging sound. Finally I've broke my stab bars and that only made a noise when going up side walks etc.

What are you doing driving on sidewalks?!

Why do I actually have the urge to reply to that,,,,???

maybe it's the strut mounts too but I know that my upper strut mount bearing were destroyed on the other car and it helped when I got new ones...

All mine I've had clunk on me when they were old and worn

Thanks Nd4SpdSe, that explains why my body goes clunk so much.

[Nd4SpdSe]

Could be. I know mine I could make it clunk just by pushing down on the corner farily hard and quick.

well its defianetly not strut related, i did all that when i lowered it. tie rods ball joints struts, strut plates springs, everything...... except lower control arm bushings like daninski said. good call im pretty sure your right.

Maybe it's just that evrything is new and stiff?

defianetly not.

i realised my battery looked kinda crooked and noticed that it wasnt actually mounted down at all anymore. maybe that is the thud sound i get from sharp lateral movements. no time today to check out lower control arm bushings but defianetly the number one thing on my list to do.
