I've got a annoying creaking/clunking sound coming from the front end when the weight shifts from front to back and vice-versa, as well as when i turn the wheel at low/no speed. It feels like it's coming from beneath my feet.

Right off the bat, i'm thinking it's the t-bar adjusters (which i recently bought and have stored beneath my rear seats).

What else could it be? I've got a terrible history of fixing thing that seem to make noise, things that are genuinely bad, but the noise never goes away.

I think Hydroxy said it best, something like "The more you try to fix a rattle, the louder and more costly it becomes."
 






Sounds like lower ball joints. That is what was causing the clunking on mine.
