Front End Clunking

Subject: Front End Clunking October 18th 2012, 8:02 am

I have the typical front end clunking. I have replaced my inner/outter tie rods 2 times. Struts and shocks as well. Still having issues. Went to get a tire rotation at NTB this morning and they said the tie rods are bad again. I was reading other threads trying to get some ideas on what it could be? Any suspension places you guys recommend? I tried to PM MoparCharger06 but I am too new.

Hey thanks Vic!!

It's hard to say, could be sway bar links, sway bar bushings, or tension struts. Too many parts our cars eat up fast, BUT if you want it looked at lemme know man

Did the tension strut fix the issue? I am having the same issue with clunking on my front end. It started on the passenger side and now moved to the driver side. This made me believe that it was the sway bar end links. I replaced both sides and thought that had fixed the issue but turned out it was not it. Went back to the store and bought a tension strut(lower control arm. Everyone calls this part something different i noticed. It is the part that has the ball joint included.) I have done all kinds of readings about what the issues can be. Some people fix it with a sway bar end link, some fix it with the the tension strut, others with a new hub. Does any one have an idea what they think it could be, or had this issue and been able to find the issue and fix it? I took it to the dealer to take a look at it and they said it was the strut it self. However they said they they were not sure so their "best guess is it is the strut." I inspected the strut and it looks to be in good condition. If the strut went bad their would be oil everywhere and i think that the clunking would be much worse.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Usually a couple things will cause the dreaded clunk over bumps. It's 9 times out of 10, one or all three of these things. Tension struts (lower control arms), tie rods, or (which I've seen ALOT lately) believe it or not the sway bar bushings. If you want it looked at lemme know man
