Thread: clunking

hey guys so when i go down curbs or hit speed bumps at slow speeds i notice a clunk noise....i thought it was loose cradle bolts so i tightened them and its still there....i had my cradle dropped by a shop recently and i was wondering do you guys think this noise could be caused by loose motor/tranny mount bolts? i also have poly upper mounts but i dont see them causing this clunk noise and it sounds like its coming from under the motor...whats your insight on this?

i had to drill out an orignal ball joint and put in a new one with bolts..maybe thats loose?

I had a clunking noise when going over speed bump and certain other bump, it turned out to be the control arm bushings.

just so happens one of mine are ripped lol can you change the one toward the front of the car without new control arms? i think the ones im talking about are the upper ones...

Yeah mine was the upper one too, you can get just the bushing, i did, it was i like $25-ish. I had a buddy of mine do it so i'm not sure how hard it is to change.
