ok so sometimes when im starting to accelerate from a stand still i hear this odd CLUNK from the driver side tire area, now ive replaced the axel there befor, and my dad said the clunk could be the cv joint going out, but for some reason im thinking we replaced the whole axle because the cv joint couldnt be purchased sepratly, can anyone verify this? or any ideas what the clunk could be? i thought it was shocks but i noticed it doesnt always happen when i hit a bump.

 

Well I can say that i believe I have the same problem, only happens every once in awhile, i hear the clunk, never payed to much attention to it, had it for like a year and a half now and never could figure it out, but it would be nice to know what it was

 

Inspect all the front end linkage points, including the axle, for play/excessive movement.

 

im thinking it may be my shocks/struts. as their 103k on them and theve never been changed. lol.

 

I have it every once in a while it can be the cover under the car it may have a clip missing!

 

good excuse for new coilovers! haha

mine's actually like that too.. the cover under the car is kind of hanging there and i can't really push it to clip back.

 

thats what im thinking lol but i have to wait till i start my new job to get cool toys hehe. i was either going to do the kyb replacements with tien drop springs or try an save up the cash for coil overs but you see, me i have hard time saving lol.

 

i had a clunk coming from that area of my car... it was my control arm. i think the bushings in there are basically pretty ****ty, and wore down to the point where it would clunk together evertime i hit a bump of any size. but could be something different. that was just my problem. new control arm and no more clunk.

 

well my control arms are good, the bushing prob not so much, prob have to switch those out at well
