Greetings all !
My problem is as follows: When one or the other front wheel articulates through its vertical motion (individually), I get a clunk in the floor boards of the vehicle. When both wheels move up and down through the suspension travel simultaneously (as in over a speed bump), there is no clunk.
Things I have done which have each individually improved the problem some are as follows:
1) Replaced lower balljoints (they were severely worn)
2) Replaced shocks (they were shot and the upper mount bushings were hard and ovalized from movement in the upper mount)
3) Replaced Torsion bar adjusters (the kevlar patches were completely shot on both arms)
I am still getting the 'clunking noise' although it has been reduced. A well respected alignment and suspension shop looked at the upper balljoints, the upper and lower control arm bushings, tie rod ends as well as the notorious sway bar end links. They all checked out OK.
Any suggestions ????
