Clunk sound at first roll of the day
When my car sits for several hours, sometimes just during the day at work, I get in, start up, and soon as I start to take off, I get a clunk sound. It's similar to the sound of a universal joint, but it only does it at times the car sits several hours...never twice in the same drive. Sometimes it doesn't do it in the mornings, just about 2-3 times a week.
Unlike a U joint, it doesn't do it every time going from forward to reverse, at starts from redlights and such.
I'm suspecting that the brembos kinda lock onto the rotors and they have to "unstick" from them after sitting a few hours. It may be the type of brake pads on it. I think the guy I bought from put ceramic pads on the car, but I'm not sure. Oh, and this sound is coming from the front of the car.

If it sounds like it is coming from the rear it is the axle and your dealership should be able to cover the fix. There is a TSB for it.

I watched the video of the axle clicking and mine isn't doing that.
I will look up under the car next time I'm under it and see if the sway bar is hitting anything.

I have the same issue. I believe it is caused by the rear strut & accompanying bolt -- the hole is too big for the bolt, so there is a lot of 'wiggle' room.

In response to everyone asking if it's free, I was at work and asked the service writers if it was free or not, and it's not. But I managed to print out the TSB on how to fix it if everyone would like me to upload it on here
