    I have a clunking sound coming from my driver side wheel well everything but the half shaft and wheel bearing is new. The sound varies with vehicle speed happens mostly on while driving straight dont matter if it a perfectly flat road or a bumpy road. Used to only happen under acceleration but now it is doing it both on acceleration and deceleration. Any one have a similar problem if so what did you have to fix.

    new parts are tie rods (inners and outers), Lower control arms, struts & springs, sway bar and enlinks, calipers, rotors, engine and trans mounts have also been replaced. Had it apart yesterday when i replaced the engine and tranny mounts everything seemed to be in working order nothing looked out of whack everything seemed tight no sloppy parts I will pull it back apart tomorrow to take a closer look at it and let you guys know what i come up with

    Put in a new wheel bearing on the driver side yesterday now it sounds like the control arm bushings are making the noise. I gave them a visual inspection and tried to move the control arm around with no success. Any one else have issues with Dorman control arms bushings going bad so quick? Ive only had them on the car 4 months. Does anyone know a part number for a left side Moog control arm i think i am going to go Moog this time just for the warranty
