Left Front End Clunk HELP!!

Video with SOUND. I'm aware it's not too likely video will show the problem but use video so we can see what's happening exactly when it clunks.


Internally the CV axle has three rolling bearings that roll in three groves. They go in and out to allow the axle to change length and a flat spot on any of the round parts or a dent on the groove will cause a repetitive thump that might barely be audible.

Make some circles with various diameters both left and right turns and see if you can find a radius where it always clunks and if you can find other turns where it doesn't.
