Anyone found the source of front suspension clunk?

Does anyone else got this clunk?
I did find this older thread...
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...spension+clunk
but no one knew that was the source of the clunk....

It's basically a light clunk from front suspension when going over
speed bumps... I can hear it easily especially when my radio is off
and windows up....

If anyone have gone to the dealer for this problem, I would
appreciate if you could post their answer to this problem.

Thanks,

Reread the post..
I'm pretty sure the clunk was addressed..
Otherwise, just take it to the dealer and tell them what the problem is..

Just because it's a "wear and tear" item, doesn't mean it shouldn't be under warranty..

This is an inherent problem on a lot of cars..

Myself, I'm going to head into the dealer ASAP..

Well... I really dont like taking it to the dealer if I do not have to..
Too many horrifying stories about dealers...

I read the thread again... I think the source was thought to be
the sway bar bushings.... in the thread, NYEVO8 was going to
re-grease the bushing and let everyone know the result... but
as you know, no results (from anyone) was posted...

are you sure you are not hearing this noise due to the cold..... gases do contract in cold weather... so it could be normal what you hearing if it is cold where you are
