chunk noise on bumpy roads at low speed

i dont know how many of you guys have problem like this, its been 2-3 months on my MR and i brought the car to service three times, at the end, after the mitsubishi representative checked and drove my car, then told me its normal for those sport suspension on evo, just like what i found on this forum (the suspension FAQ), now i have few questions...

the noise is REALLY annoying, what can i do about it....if they dont wanna fix it....

can i get this fixed if i change new springs or shocks?

thanks thanks

I've got a clunk too, and I'm pretty sure it's the hood prop. It's loose and sloppy at the hinge point, even when snapped in horizontally. Just yesterday, I tied a string to it, ran the string through the hood vent, closed the hood, sat in the car and tugged at the string. Sure enough, it sounds like my rattle. I can even feel the vibration in the pedals. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do about it though.

i can feel the vibration in the brake padal too!
the mitsubishi rep told me the noise coming from body, not suspension, no repair required, so u might be right. but from the FAQ here they said it was the springs slightly move and made noise... i dont even know now..

One noise I was able to rid myself of was from an air-guide. The guide is on the passenger side, behind the mesh, near the fog, in front of the oil cooler. There are four clips holding it in place that wore, and allowed it to move. I replaced the clips, and now it is steady, for a while I suppose.

Its the strut bar. I had this problem when i bought my car brand new 3 months ago. All I did was tighten the strut bar and problem solved.
