Default Noise in front .......

I am getting a "clunking" noise in the front, it sounds like on the passenger side, when I go over uneven roads. Sometimes even when I shift (transfer weight from back to front). Can anyone give me an idea of what it is?

Default It's funny that all of us are running into the same problem with our cars at about the same time

give or take a year.

I have the same noise, and if you search the archives, you'll see many others with the same thing.

It's probably a strut mount.

It's a $10 part, but I'm getting the impression that I'll have to remove the suspension to replace it, which means big $ for labor and not an easy DIY.

Default

could be control arms, could be tie rods. Get it on a lift and inspect it carefully.

Default Just fixed mine the same way this guy did.. with a washer.

Better to replace the bushing though.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1526972.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1526972.phtml</a</li></ul>
