Maybe you dont need to be an expert but here is my situation. I have had the clunking noise from the front right part of the car. When my car is parked and I push up and down on the front right everyhting sounds normal. So, I get my neighbor over and we stand on the sides of the car (engine bay) and start pushing, as we push the car side to side the clunking/popping noise occurs! Odd. The only change that was made to the car was the install of daizen sways, the noise started occuring a few days after the install. I have re-installed and lube the sway bar and nothing is hitting it to my knowledge. While driving, the noise only occurs over small bumps at low speeds. Could this be my lower ball joint? Your input is geatly appreciated.

I had the same thing on my IS after the antiroll bar installation, it was one of the drop link nuts that was not tight properly

very likely that are the ball joints.

Are you talking about the lower ball joint?

jcat_350

yes, your noise is more than likely stemming from the lower ball joints.

yea even before you said "could it be the ball joint" the first thought that popped in my head was that.

Our cars have been known to squeak during cold weather and adding stiffer sways may have made the car to be a little more squeaky than usual. I do not think it's the ball joints, but I would have them checked since it is not hard to do so. I would start checking everything related to any suspention mods you have done in the past. Start lubing your bushing and do process of elimination on your entire suspention.
