Front end clunk

[Johne1000]

In the cold weather i get a clunking noise on the front passenger side ONLY DURING THE COLD weather..... No i have checked all ball joints and tie rods and play in the bearings.... the only thing i can think of is the shocks are original.

Have you checked the rubber shock bushings and tightened the upper? I had a vehicle that I'd had the rear shocks changed on (before I had time to do my own repairs) and one of the upper mounts wasn't tight enough. It clunked for years (wife's car) before I finally fixed it. I'd even paid the dealership a diagnostic fee to find/fix it and they said they didn't know what the problem was (I demanded and received the diagnostic fee back).

Also check the front sway bar end links. Tap on them to see if they're broken or loose. Replace BOTH sides. (Moog K700542)
