Default Sometimes hear a clunking sound in the front end when coming to a stop...
Ok so sometimes when I'm driving around and I come to a stop light and the car comes to a complete stop I hear a weird clunking sound coming from what sounds like the front passenger side like something is loose up there. I've only had the car for 2 months now so I'm still getting familar with the suspension and drivetrain. You guys have any suggestion regarding my problem? I'm want to lower my car during my spring break but am hesitant to do so cause this will most likely void my suspension warrenty and if the clunking is something from my suspension I'm screwed. Thanks

I just started noticing the same problem. I am thinking that it is the control arms.

Default had the same problem months back....a popping sound as I slowed down...
it ended up being my brake pad coming off the backing plate. Thought it was the suspension.
