Default clanking noise when accelerating from a stop

I can hear clanking coming from the front end of the car like somethings not tight, ive checker everything, tightened everything to factory specs and still the same thing, ive come to the conclusion that my bushings may be bad..

What I'm trying to figure out here is if this is my problem im encountering or if its something else, and if, where can i find cheap replacements

you should check the motor mounts and also see if theres any oil leaking onto them. oil breaks rubber down at a fast rate so if its leaking onto mounts you need to fix the leak and replace mounts

My race car clicks a little 'cause I don't have the little clips that hold in the front brake pads......Good Luck

Does it also happen when you are accelerating and let it drop a little and then give it alot...then probably a mount...does it happen in reverse.does it happen if you turn from a stop...check swaybar...mounts...even not just busted mounts but if the bolts a little loose...also is you intake secure?

i know this may sound dumb but also check your cv joints. the motor mount can be loose causing the motor to make a wrpping noise. if it does it when you hit bumps then it is probaly your upper control arm bushings. but its most likely your motor mount being bad or loose.

Could be motor mounts, front control arm bushings, axles. If you have a squeak over bumps its your sway bar end links and/or sway bar frame bushings. You can lube the ends up with silicone and the frame bushings with grease.

well im sure its not the mounts and i know my cv boots are ripped and i get the clicking noise when i turn, im in the process of replacing those... my lowercontrol arm and upper control arm bushings are totalled, so that was my first assumption, second my sway bar being a tad loose.... but the say bar has been tightened down to know return... anyone know where i can get a bushing kit for less then what energy suspension is trying to charge... they are a little bit pricey for something so little
