loud "clunking" noise in front over bumps...

[jdSHO94]

as the title says there is a loud "clunking" noise in the front suspension, most noitceable in the RF wheel, though heard from both sides. To date i have replaced all 4 struts (KYB), all 4 strut mounts, front strut bearings, outer tie rod ends, lower control arms, sway bar end links at all 4 corners, sway bar bushings all around, RF hub and beaaring, and installed ALSFB's a few days ago. I have checked every other thing i can think of that would cause this type of noise (inner tie rod ends, steering rack mounts,engine mounts) but have found nothing. If anyone else hs encountered this issue before any help would be greatly appreciated.

Eh, my SHO makes so much noise over bumps that I've simply decided not to chase the bleeps, the sweeps and creeps (movie reference) anymore. I just turn up the radio and enjoy the drive.

thats what ive been trying to do lol since the ALSFB install the noise has become much louder, leading me to believe that it has to do with something attached to the subframe, but now it is actually loud enough to have me worried about safety. What is the likelyhood of inner tie rods giving up? the car is currently @ 154K miles...

could be a broken strut mount, busted front sway bar end links, umm tension strut rod? is it called, the thing that breaks out of the subframe.

my vote is the front strut rod mounting area being broken...

get under the front, pax side, take off the tension rod nut, behind it is a washer, its a big ass nut by the way

slide that bushing off and see if the metal collar or sleeve if u will is free and moves around at all.......... if it moves its broke needs to be welded or moog kit put in
