Hey everyone,

A curious sound developed in the car these past two days. While driving under uneven surfaces, there is a noticeable clunk sound (apparently) coming from the driver's side. The sound increases when there is articulation or in instances of managing speed bumps. I assume it is a bushing in the lower control arm, but I am unsure and want to ask all of you what you think.

Suspension:
Bilstein PSS10 coils
Hotchkis sway bars (bushings have not been oiled since install years ago)
Spl camber arms
Spl front tie rods

Thank you for any and all input!

 

Yep. Front lower arms or ball joints.

 

Let me know what you find. My passenger side is making the same noise, but I know it's not the LCA because I changed those bushings.

 

Same sound, different parts for me. I have Kinetix V2 A arms and I would get a clunk turning right up into my driveway. Drove me crazy. I had the wheel off one day and pushed and pulled on the Heim joint to the A arm and it appears to have a little "flex". I have the new V3 joints to install when the weather warms up and I can get my car jacked up. Hopefully that solves it, otherwise I'll be back.

 

Agreed. Well, when I make my way to Specialty Z for some maintainence I'll ask them to take a look. I'll let you guys know (but it won't be for some time).
