Recently started having a clunking/rattling noise from the front end. I just had the car in the shop for the noise and they went over every suspension part and checked all nuts/bolts. Nothing was loose other than a collar on my new BC coilovers after 5-600 miles. Everything was well until today. It started again. It does the noise the entire time Im driving.

Got home, I jacked the car up, took of the front driver side wheel and felt over everything, nothing was loose. Only thing I found was a missing fender liner clip, a missing screw for the triangle corner cover. Fixed both of those and noise is still there.

Took it back up the road, no luck. I tried turning the steering wheel side to side and got a clunking noise. I went under the hood while doing the same thing and it sounds like its coming from the steering column/rack area the most.

Any help in the right direction would be awesome.
