Driver side suspension loose... is yours??

I had a weird clunk coming coming from my driver's side front wheel so I put her up on a lift to see what was going on... I couldn't find anything obvious so I just went through and started tightening up everything on the suspension to be sure. Much to my surprise nearly every bolt was loose enough for my impact wrench to tighten. I decided to check all corners and I found the passenger was nice and tight.

As I was taking off the driver's side rear wheel I joked with my brother about the driver side of the car being loose, like the guy on that side of the assembly line wasn't doing his job or something and what do you know, every bolt was loose like the front! I'm not sure how these cars are manufactured and maybe it was just coincidence, but still weird. I just thought I'd share this, just in case you want to make sure everything's tight.

The clunk went away after everything was tightened BTW

I'd be careful hitting every bolt on the front suspention with an impact. They all have certain torque specs. Glad it solved your problem though.
