Default Front end Clunking
All,

Over the past few weeks my Sti has developed a bad clunking noise in the front end, the left side is worse than the right.

Is worst when slowing down, going over bumps and cornering.

It's doing my head in, any suggestions please?

Do you have aftermarket swaybars? Endlinks come loose or broken? (that was my rear end clunking issue anyway)

Ditto b32.... I had clunking from my front right stock end link making noise a couple of months after putting Whiteline sways in. Dougie pulled it out, soaked it with some CRC and I haven't heard a peep out of it since. Whiteline end links aren't that crash hot from what I've read. Check to see if it's perished, if not give the CRC/WD40 a go.
