Need help with: Clunking sounds from Front Right

shabarivas · 07-08-2009, 04:01 PM

Hey guys... so Ive been hearing some clunking sounds when I go from a stop or when i come to a not so smooth stop. Also hear it when im turning abruptly at low speeds. Seems to be coming from the front right suspension area (passenger front). Any ideas what it could be? I will be taking it in to the dealer tomorrow. Thanks.

I hear this also, occationally; I haven't had time to make it back to the dealer though. Let us know what they say.

going into the dealer tomorrow.

If you have locking lugs better make sure they are the right ones, we've heard this noise can be a symptom of the lug getting ready to depart the car.

no wheel locks are on the car - just regular old lugs
