Annoying clunking.....

First of all my car is a 92 GS with GC coilovers and Tokico Premium shocks(bad idea). I recently (yesterday) installed new link kits on my car and it eliminated the noise for a little time, until 6 hours later the clunking sound came, but in minor proportion. This only happens when i turn to the right, standing or going, its not my CV joints(they were fixed 3 months ago) i think its something related to the strut mounts(it seems the noise comes from there) or maybe engine mounts. That damn noise is driving me crazy. Please help!! :(

My car made those noises too, took it into mazda and they replaced the stabilizer links which were broken.

I'm just wondering why you think Tokico shocks are a bad idea? Thanks.<p>Steve

Check your engin mounts, very common noise that occurs when they go out, they could be already metal on metal bad idea, i had my car ridding like that for almost a year untill i decided i would take a praying guess, and found out what the problem was, but only after spending 300 dallors on buying everything on the right side new. check out your mounts!

<hr></blockquote><p>Yeah, it happens when i brake too hard or accelerate hard, but i still havent figured out why still has that noise. My car is in the body shop so i will have to wait a little bit.
Im going to check the link kits to see if they have any anomaly. :D <p>This kind of problem its very common and should be posted on the Suspension FAQ. I found out that one of the thinks that can alleviate this problem is changing the Link kits since it stops a lot of clunking. :D

strut mounts and motor mounts could be the culprit too.
