suspension clunk 850 95 turbo

posted by  someone claiming to be Chad Bosworth on  Wed Nov 28 06:26 CST 2001 [RELATED]

i am having an annoying problem. my front suspension started clunking about a month ago. i put new eibach springs on it myself 6 days ago and it is still doing the clunk. i knew that it would not fix it, but i was hoping while i had everything out, i would see the problem. well i did not. i took it to a shop yesterday and they could not locate the problem. they thought it could be the a-arm bushings, but they are still very firm. there was only one thing they could find wrong, and that was on the drivers side link that connects the swaybar to the strut. the noise is on the passenger side front. i had the piece replaced anyways.

it makes this noise whenever i go over a bump at over 10 mph or when i turn sharply. i have had both lower ball joints replaced, both hub bearings and te wheels are properly tightened to 75 psi. if i get in the front while the car is in park and rock it real hard, the noise appears, but you can't locate it. also, i was outside the car and the guy put it in and out of gear a couple of times. when he did this, i could hear the noise like something is turning instead of catching immediatly. i thought it could be the axle, but they said no.

sorry about the long message, but i had to give the symptoms. any ideas on the fix would be appreciated.
