im hearing a clink clink from the front left area when i go over bumps. i jsut checked the brakes, control arms, lower swaybar, sway bar link, coils, strut. i have no idea wut else could be causing the sound. it drives fine and everything, and the sound is pretty audible. please help me!!!

 

ok so i just went and did sum more checking. seems like there's a small clinking noise coming from either the upper control arms, steering pinion, or the upper base of the shock/strut when im shaking the spindle bracket. any idea which one it might be cuz i can't isolate it very well when im shaking it and shaking maself

 

Hi Hiwords,
I used to get this too - turns out one of the rear springs was broken.
Now both springs are changed and I got no more problems.
My mechanic told me another common problem is worn shocks can cause a clonking sound.

 

When I have had thsi issue its always been my control arms. IM thinking about getting the Febi set from ECSTuning and just redo the whole card. I have had the same one replaced twice already and others have also been replaced. Damn you North East roads

 

Probably worn strut mount at the top.
