EJAYATE

I've been hearing this wierd cluncking noise from my front right wheel, while hitting bumps under 40mph. Sometimes it veers after a bump and the steering feels a little vague. I have omnipower street coilovers and adjustable control arms. Both are less than a year old so I doubt they are blown.

Any thoughts?

Is it pulling at all?

To the sides? No it rolls strait as an arrow, but turning is not as crisp feeling. It will "pull" when I hit a bump, the steering jumps around with a mind of its own.

Hrm,

Could it be a tie rod end?

a balljoint could be the issue

i have a bad upper balljoint on my drivers side, does the same thing

Ya, both my upper ball joints are shot. An Easy way to check if there bad is to grab the bar that ataches to the ball joint and the steering nuckle and pull it out ward and inward really fast and if you are able to move it around after tuging on it for a few seconds its shot, make sure you put like all your weight into it, i have same problem and thats how they checked mine, and thats how i figured out, just wiggling stuff.

also when i turn it feels very mushy and it doesnt respond very quickly, take it out on the highway and see if she handles like ****, if it does thats another symptym of bad ball joints.

Upper ball joints are good, they are less than a year old. It doesn't handle like ****, no performance is lost it just feels wierd, and clunks alot.

i did my rack & pinion... had the same problem .... turns out was my mounts...the two small mounts NOT IN THE ENGINE BAY the ones nearest to the wheels.. i think called torque mounts..correct me if im wrong...OR its the frame bushings (to diagnose: with the car in the air, place your hands at 9 & 3pm pull from left to right... then place hands at 12 & 6pm pull top to bottom ) if either pull or seem lose ... bushings need to be changed
