Hey guys,

Hope I can get some insight on this, it's a chin-scratcher!


The best I can describe is that when I'm causing the front of the car to 'bounce' (heavy shifting, for example) I can hear a clunk or knuckle type noise. It's very brief.

If I 'pump' my clutch I can sometimes make it happen again.. looked around the entire front of the car and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Buddy thinks it's a motor mount or bushing of some sort that gave away, leading to a metal on metal noise sometimes?

Thx in advance for any insight...

 

Could be motor mounts , could also be bad control arms.
You will need to remove the front wheels & look at the inner bushing of the upper control arms as well as the joints at the other end.

 

Had a noise identical to that just had timing service done but when they did that I had them throw an polyurethane snub mount In the front and when I picked the car up bam no more popping

 

control arm bushings ill bet my next pay check, only catch is that's theres four control arms per side, plus two tie rods perside

 

I have an identical noise but on the drivers side. It feels like it's just under my left foot. Control arms or brushings?

I didn't want to make a new thread.
