Does the clank sould like it's coming from the streering column or the front end?
 






the clank is coming from the front end.
 






Sounds like the bushings.

When was the last time you had a front end allignment?
 






check your ball joints too. mine was doing that before i replaced my ball joints. there easy to check, just jack up the front end and put a bar under the tire, and lift up, using the bar as leverage. there should be little or no freeplay.
 






no freeplay, its the bushings allright, anyone got any ideas? ive heard drilling that sounds like it could get intamate...
