My car has had this problem for a while now and I cannot figure out what the cause is. Sounds like it's coming from the front passenger side and feels like something is loose. I've replaced both axles, passenger side lower ball joint, complete upper control arm, shocks/springs, passenger tierod end (inner seems okay) and the rack end bushing. What else should I be looking at?

 

check to make sure that the axle nuts to knuckle are tight. And lug nuts.

 

its your cv joint very common in our cars

Yup. These things go out once in a while.

 

i think he said he tried replaced them and it's still doing it.,

 

Yeah, these are entirely rebuilt axles with new joints. The noise was present before and after they were changed. It sounds like something is lose but everything is tight. Only happens on left turns over rough road and sometimes it rebounds...and you hear a clunk-clunk. It's always a series of clunks. I'm beginning to think it might be a bushing somewhere.

 

check all of the lower control arm bushings. the bushings are old i had funny noises from the front end on my car and it turned out to be simple bushings i had them all replaced with the master kit from energy suspension and now im one happy man

 

it is the axle or differenal in the transmission happen to a customer

 

Ya know it might even be something in the rear suspension. Trailing arm bushing perhaps? I haven't really looked at my car's rear suspension arms.

 

try checking the upper balljoint on that side jack the car up take a prybar
or just hit it with your fist to see if there is any play......

 

jack up the front of the car, have someone inside the car to turn the wheel and inspect all moving components

 

that too

 

wheel bearings? any play?
