The Clunk from the Front...
 
Hey all,

Weird issue i have been having lately, has also stumped my mechanic somewhat. When i turn either left or right there is a clunk happening in the front of the car, seems to be under the drivers foot well. Mechanic also found this we had a look under the car - its a MY97 GC8 btw :).

Either way, we installed a Anti-Lift Kit as that bushing was a bit worn and the odd thing is that it has, not just improved the handling the car, but it has removed one side of the clunk, so it now only happens on left hand corners.

It is not a constant clunk, more like a singular clunk and it keeps going.

Any idea's? anyone have same/similar problem?

Cheers.

i had my brakes checked and like most things suspension wise today checked out, everything seemed fine... but it still clunks, so i have no idea what the heck it could be lol

wouldnt be a CV joint as the clunk would be all the time, not just on hard cornering... hmm,

Check the bushing tightness on your swaybars... when i upgraded mine i got a slight clunking in the rear at low speeds. Fixed it when i installed end links and tightened everything up a bit. Just don't over tighten and crush the bushings.

YUP bushings are loose
