good luck! I had to start my car off with a salvage insepection so in a sense I know what your going thro

 

Does anyone have any idea what the part at the top of the strut would be?

Or if that part of the brake line is hard to replace? It is apparently the joint right at the end (non wheel end).

Thanks

 

A bad outer tie rod end can clunk when its no longer good

 

My guess for the suspension deal would be the upper control arm bushings or a strut mount. Does it just clunk or is it sounding like a rusty door every time you turn the wheels or go over even the slightest bump at low speeds?

 

no checks of any sort for me...3 inch wide steel from turbo to muffler

 

I hear the noise when I go over the slightest bump even at low speeds. I wouldnt call it a rusty door tho, more like loose metal.
