ive noticed a clunking noise coming from the front drivers side of the car. it seems to do it randomly but it always does it over larger bumps like speed bumps or in and out of drive ways. i made an apointment to have the car looked at by the dealer i bought it from. i hope they dont give me any grief about it. the car is all stock with 2,300 miles on it. have any of you had this problem and if so what was it? sounds almost like the strut is lose or some thing.

 

Same here, please let me know what the dealer have to said. Thanks

 

I have the same problem, but I never noticed it until after I got my aftermarket suspension. Still trying to get it sorted out.

Do you guys have stock suspensions?

What year and model do you have?

 

mines all stock. its an 04 rs

 

Maybe it's just a problem with the '04 RS, which is what I have too. There aren't very many RS models out there, so I think it's pretty unusual that 2 out of 3 (and maybe all 3) who have responded to this thread have an RS. Although it doesn't seem like it could have anything to do with the front differential, that's the one mechanical thing that sets our cars apart from all the '04 EVO VIIIs.

 

well i hope not but maybe, ill post what the dealer says on monday

 

i have the same problem. 03 gsr here.

 

no one else has taken thers in?

 

It could be the front sway bar hitting something?

 

Type clunk into the search feature.

 

about 65% of us have this prob 03 to 05. no clear answer yet. search youll find a good number of threads on this.

 

yeah i have an 04 gsr, and it has near 10k on it, and it just started happening the other day. it only seems to happen to me, when it is pretty cold outside. below 35 degrees or so, and only if i hit a manhole cover, or speed bump while turning. and it only seems to happen when the car is not quite at optimal temperature. keep us posted as it happened to me for the first time about 4 days ago, i would really like to know what the dealer says.

 

i did the search and alot came up(you wher right). sounds like mine has something lose. hopefully mine is as easily fixed as some others. keep my fingers crossed and give an update for sure monday.
