When driving at slow speeds, "clunk, clunk, clunk"......small dips in road, "clunk, clunk". Dull sound like hitting a plastic drum or the jack is bouncing around in the trunk.

"clunk" can be reproduced by bouncing UP on passengers front fender - but sound coming from drivers front. (my helper not strong enough to bounce and not observent enough to locate -so kinda on my own). Strange part when wheels are turned (to get a good look at suspension parts), I can not reproduce noise bouncing at either fender.

coincidence? noise started after repair of that wheels bearing. Nothing obvious, not coming from top of strut bearing (where plastic cover is removed). Suspension parts seem as loose/stiff as the other side, New ball joint, Big control arm - no rubber tears, stabilizer bars have movement but seem OK.

First thought - I damaged the wishbone rubber where it attaches to the frame as i use that as a jack point when I need to slip a jack stand at the "official" jack point. probably not a good time to ask, but where do others use as alternate front jack point?
