Hey guys, i recently been having a clunking noise coming from the front, and i DID SEARCH, , but there are so many possibilites as to where its coming from and what it could be. Any of you guys could recommend a shop for me to get it checked out at, or be willing to lend your expertice to let me know as well. Got the car dropped today, and its much more constant now.

some times you may get that clunk sound if the spings were not aligned right....the drop looks good..

rkyat

thanks, the clunking noise there before the drop tho, its just more constant now w/ it.

I haven't replaced springs on the SC400 before... BUT

Did you have to remove the Swaybar end links to get the job done?

If so make sure those aren't broken and check to see they are tight.

I have a similar noise coming from my front end suspension on my GS300 for the longest now. Every time the car goes over a rough surface the noise occur. Well, I had it looked at over the weekend & was told that one of my strut might be bad.

i assumed it was the strut too, but i recently did my suspension, new struts/springs, (well not new, but different) and the same noise is still there.

Did you check your lower ball joints and/or bearings?

not familiar with the SC chasis, but if there's a front sway bar, i would check the endlinks

I'm thinking it might be a control arm issue. do you hear it when the weight of the car is shifting?

greenvy2k

it also could be your strut caps.

I'll bet $100 it's control arm bushings.

One more thing i noticed also, my front left wheel also moves back and forth, i mean the whole wheel when i brake/accelerate. Could it be a control arm issue also.

I think so and it sounds kinda dangerous. How do you know its moving back and forward
