Title: Front suspension analysis
Post by: Tom in seattle on April 18, 2021, 05:58:10

I’m wondering if I may need some front suspension work.  I get a clunking noise over road bumps on the right side.  But I can’t seem to isolate it from an exhaust rattle or something else.  I have no looseness in the steering.  How can I test the front suspension.  The car, and probably yours, does not get enough mileage to show tire wear.

Had a similar knock in front right side. Went through all the suspension with out luck.  Turned out to be a broken bracket on radiator that clunked when going over a rough road.
