Clunky noise from the front end

Dreamer99 · 04-23-2021, 06:27 PM

I've got a clunky sound from the front end of my car. It's noisier at low speeds. I've checked the end links, swaybar, etc. Could it be worn out camber plates (ground control) and if so how do you check them?

GC plates are historically known to clunk/pop, try greasing the bearing?

I have a similar setup and I'm having the same issue again. I'm going to check away bar links and remove some tension as I bet my suspension finally settled in. I'm not to concerned about the GC camber plates as it wasn't making this noise before.

The sound is sort of a clunk so I assume it's sway bar links as this tends to be a typical issue on lowered cars.

I figured it out. One of my end link bolts at the strut needed to be torqued down a bit more.

I have a similar issue that's driving me crazy. Were your end links loose at the tower?
