That is the spring snapping in place as it re-seats on the spring perch.

When you go check your suspension, check how the strut assembly is put together, not just the bolts that hold the assembly to the chassis and control arm.

Make sure everything is seated properly, and when you jack the car up, make sure the spring doesnt "free float" when there is no load on it. It should have at least some pre load.

 

Thats it! is it all the time or does it come and go?

 

I have an EVO 6..had a similar clunking noise when I turned my steering....thought it was like suspension or cv joint...took 2 weeks to findout...turned out to be 3 broken bolts in my center diff!! (This has happened twice in my car)

If you check everything and still have the problem, u might need to check inside your transfer case...the center diff.

[QUOTE]mine is doing it too, but only if I drive forward, stop, cut the wheel to lock, then reverse.. then it will clunk.. same prob?

BTW Wicked...those are the identical problems my car was having!!

 

same problem, got it checked out and no dice. Guy told me he had no idea what it was, when you find the prob, let me know...

 

Your Wheels Are Loose!

 

i still havent had time to check it out, i havent been driving it. if anyone has any more ideas about it before i check it out let me know.

 

if it was the dif wouldnt it whine also?

 

[QUOTE=EvO6-RS2]Same prob for me too.

 

mine isnt when i do the reverse thing, its all the time

 

I'm still gonna stand firm on the rock in the suspension belief, being that mine constantly comes and goes... there's a million things on the Evos that make the suspension creak and clunk

 

but this isnt something that is coming and going, it could easily be something in the suspension but it isnt the clunking that people have complained of before, this is a consistent clunk with a turn of the wheel in any gear at any speed. the thing that scares me the most about it is when i go from a stop and it clunks a few times with each chatter of my worn clutch, however this scenario doesnt happen nearly as frequent

 

yeah i have the same problem when driving slow in first or reversing. it sounds like it has something to do with the gears. i'm thinking its the clutch or transfer case. is there any way to fix this.

 

Has anyone figured out what this is? I have the same issue on a 2005 GSR, all stock with 36K miles. Starting to get a pop/clunk from the front end when starting out, turning at low speed......

 

Thanks for bringing this thread back to life. Last week mine started doing the same but I could not confirm this until last night after some new mods testing. Looks like she is going back under the knife today.
