Driver's side clunk..?
 

Alright so here we go again. Car is a 2001 WS6. Just did upper lower ball joints and outer tie rod ends about a month ago. Got an alignment right after. Everything was good for about a month and just took the car out tonight. I now hear a big "clunk" in the middle of a left turn. It's coming from the drivers side for sure and does nothing on right turns or no noises coming from the passenger side. I tried looking under there but can't see shit. Anybody have any ideas on what it could be when I check it out tomorrow? I'm guessing it's gonna be the inner tie rod now. Just a guess for now ....

is it a clunk or a pop? how does the sound sound? it can be as stupid as the plastic shroud poping or a loose bolt...

It's like a loud "DUUUUNK".

Now that I think about it ... it might be a loose bolt somewhere but I doubt it. Gonna get it up on some stands and look at it tomorrow. Maybe even throw the lowering springs on it.

Also check your sway bar connections and bushings, coil over mounting bolts, calipers, ball joint. Slightly loose lugs can also cause a clunking sound from the stress caused to the wheel on turns (inside of rim against hat of rotor). This happened to me on my rear wheels when I turned. It clunked due to slightly loose lugs. It can only be a number of things.

Good luck!

I'm gonna get out there and check today. Hopefully it's something simple.

Took a look a little while ago and found the P/S sway bar endlink loose as hell. The nut on top is tightened down but the sleeves and bushings in the middle have a lot of play from top to bottom. Would this cause the clunk on a left turn D/S...?

I would think so. The endlink especially.

Hope you found it...

Well I ordered the parts already so I'm gonna swap them out. But the nut on the top seems to be tight a good amount of the way down the bolt threads. There is just a lot of play with the bushings and sleeve in the middle. I hope it works out but if that isn't it ... then it'll be found when I do the lowering springs too.
