The Clunk that won't go away
#11
Re: Blown shock? Try bouncing the corner? Motor mount? I'm a n00b ... sorry.
Tried bouncing on the corner earlier, needs more force than I can provide. I'm thinking about sway bar end links. I think that's the last thing to be replaced under there.

I have a similar clunk...
Slow speads and over speed bumps I can feel it. Does yours persist if you are driving say 40mph and make a quick, almost evasive, turn in either direction. I am planning on haveing my lower control arms replace, but upon visual inspection they didnt' look horrible. Mine happens when I turn left suddenly, or low speeds. If I do two consecutive left turns it will do it on the first but not on the second. If I turn left and then turn right (almost to "reset" it)it will clunk on the second turn left. Something is up, nothing feels loose. I also have a slight vibration at speeds above 75-80, have had new tires, alignment, and balance. I feel it's all happend since the alignment, when the suspension was touched, it just hasn't been the same.

Re: I have a similar clunk...
I had all control arms replaced...only clunks when at slow speeds and over rough road or through the drain culverts on the side of the road. Sounds like everything attached to the right front clunks/vibrates. Definately indicitive of something loose. I'm taking these peoples advise and thinking sway bar link/bushings.

That vibration at those speeds is from the wheel weights.
They need to be placed at the correct location on the wheels in order to truly balance out (I believe the outermost point on the inside of the wheels).
