got the aligment done after my control arm install. i haven't had a real chance to drive the car until yesterday/today and it feels really clunky over bumps.

i installed new ball joints, strut bushings and got the control arms defcon'd. it feels worse than before.

where's the 1st place i should look?

I'd start with the anti sway bar links

you really should check the strut bushing. If it shifted when you were installing it, you could have a metal on metal situation which could sound that way....Recheck when you get a chance..

if i can't tighten them anymore - what more can i do?

andrew.tt

thanks - above they look pretty straight - maybe 5-10mm gap.

off while driving...and will make a similar clunk noise. seriously.

andrew.tt

most likely they are overtightened - the alignment place probably went to town.

kodeTT

make a clunking noise everytime you go over bumps, etc.

andrew.tt

they're tigher'n hell. probably have to use an impact to get them off.

the guy is going to do some "freezer" testing to see if he can get it to error.
