Front End Clunk after most things replaced !!!

[dpgx5]

NIcee! How does it feel now driving/steering?

The whole car just feels so much tighter,more responsive and isn't annoying the crap outta me anymore. Think i'm gonna work my way through the whole suspension and replace all the bushes with polys.

I had this exact problem as well. I also went through an (almost) full front end change.. But it turned out to be one small ticket part. I will contact my indy, and let you know tomorrow.

Persian,

Thanks so much! Really appreciate that, hopefully it is the same thing.

OK. I believe what it happened to be for me, was that my parts (the plastic on them) were brittle due to age/lower quality.

I ordered the same parts again, but with Lemforder (I know, not cheap).

Sway bar, left and right. Balljoints outer (originally Febi, but I ended up replacing with either Lemforder), make sure you also check your control arms bushing "plastic/rubber" for cracking.

The plastic on these parts are what set them apart from one brand to another.

Since you drive a non-m54 truck, this might be slightly different for sway bar.

Please note that on my maintenance (due to 210,000+ km at the time), I also swapped all of my struts and shocks. I recommend Sachs if you have to do this at any time (really nice soft ride).

It's always the part you didn't replace after the "almost replaced everything". Glad you found the problem.
