So, I am driving down the road, and I get an occasional "clunk" sound. It feels and sounds like it is in the forward section of the car. Sometimes it will happen on a turn, sometimes under braking, and sometimes on small bumps.
I jacked the front end of the car up today, and gave the front wheels the shake and spin test. Its not wheel bearings. Everything is very firm, and the wheels turn freely. I have not looked for loose bolts yet, and might do that tomorrow. Any ideas on what it might be? Zach |

OKay...
How do I get the strut top through the big rubber grommet so I can bolt it back into place. I can't get any purchase on it to push it the rest of the way though. Zach |

Zach Zach, You need to gently raise it up. get it lined up and tweak the cover to get a little friction... For the clunk...its most likely the sway bar...andy and I hunted the same issue for a while. To check it...loosen the tank strap and while pulling the tank up 1/2 inch, push down the rubber blocks. It will raise it up enough to shut up for a few days/weeks. Eventually it will slide down again. Two fixed...sliced garden hose on the sway bar, full length. Second....glue the rubber blocks in place so they hold the tank up. Rich |
