Default Noise coming from front of car

The front of the car has a "clanking" sound when the road isnt perfect and we go over little bumps. Sometimes its there, sometimes its not. Have any of you guys had this problem? Could this be from broken axles, or lowering springs? Is there anything else in the front that gets loose and would need to be tightened?

If your just driving along not turning, I'd say that your struts are blown. If your car is lowered on OEM struts...that is more than likely the culprit.

Check your lower control arm bushings for wear

The car has the OEM Struts with lowering springs, but I never thought it would sound like that, and im pretty sure there blown. I will be checking the lower control arm too. Could it also be from the springs hitting each other? Their neuspeed race. thanks for your responses guys

i think the noise coming from the front of your car, it's your engine. LOL

maybe it's something loose and it's just shaking around?
it could be your shocks, but i doubt it, if you're still bouncing correctly (can move up and down and compress properly) is it a loud clanking noise from the motor? or loud clanking like it's shaking something. you could have probably dropped a tool too LOL

i would probably jack the car up , take off the tire and poke my head around and see if anything is leaking, broken, loose.

my pass. rear side was making a slight noise over bumps it happend to be the rubber dust cover moved slightly and was causing the noise.

sway bar links and bushings if its a light noise on quick bumps, if its on hard bumps like pot holes then probably struts or ball j oints
