Strange clunking in front right?


Recommended Posts

Just seeing if anyone else has had this happen.  When going slow and turning left over a curb (basically only when I pull in my driveway) I am hearing a clunking noise from the front right corner of the van.  It almost sounds like something loose that is swinging back and forth in this situation.  I've looked both under the hood and around the suspension and can't seem to track it down. I don't believe it's in the suspension as it all seems tight and I never hear it going straight.  I thought my hood prop was loose when it first happened but its not.  I'll pull the wheel off this weekend and see if I can track it down.

I had a wheel bearing replaced on the same corner, thinking that it was the cause of the noise I was hearing. But, the noise continued after the new wheel bearing and I eventually realized that my front right strut is blown - I still need to get it replaced, haha. Bounce the front driver corner to see how stiff it is, then bounce the passenger corner to see if it's weak & mushy. I can barely move the front driver corner up & down when I push down on it, but the passenger side bounces real easy by pushing down on the fender/hood area.
