What up guys.

Searched regarding my question but didnt find the answer im looking for.

When im coming to a stop around 10 mph the front end of my car makes a clunk or pop noise, then when i disengage my clutch to take off(even smoothly and slowly) it makes the same noise again. It does this all the time and im sick of it. I want to say tie rod ends but they look fine. Im rockin tein coilovers, and im not super low at all. Anyone have the same issue??

Check your sway bar bushings make sure they have good amount of grease on them. is the noise front or rear?

I will check them. The noise is coming from the front, sorry.

I would check your end links and all suspension related parts. Do you feel anything? Going to assume that the car is driving fine...

Mine started doing this, but the driver side outer tie rod end is the cause of mine. If the rubber boot on it is torn, then it might be the culprit.

Tierod or lower ball joint would be where I would start looking.

I had a clunk that was hard to diagnose. Turned out that the nut that tightens the damper shaft on to the strut bearing on my Ohlins coilover was loose.

I work at anderson ford and fords are bad about clunking noises in the front end. It could be many things. I would start by looking at the sway bar end links. You can check by wiggling them when on a lift or take them loose and try to enduce the condition where they usually pop. If it doesnt happen then at that point it would probably be the end links. Also my evo used to pop when going over bumps at times or when disengaugeing the clutch and it ended up being my lf top coil over bolt as tsi90awd said. But thats where i would start. try that and let us know what happens. Good luck.

My Rx8 had a clunking sound coming from the front end and i swore it was the suspension it turned out it was the exhaust that got loose and just making contact ever time i would stop and accelerate. This is probably not going to be your issue but just an FYI, to look even where you don't expect it.

sorry to bring back an old thread OP but ive posted / seen a number of these threads with no definite answers. your problem sounds similar to mine, i was wondering if you ever found out a solution to the noise ?
Thanks

It would be either a worn ball joint which usually clunks when turning. Of a bad tie rod end. Or check your upper strut mounts for cracks and movement. Gl.

i've started turning up the radio.
