i WILL try to short the story.
my front suspension(i think it is the front suspension but maybe something else i dont know) clangs when I start to move the car; but it only happens when i just start to move, and it never happened when accelerating.
I cant figure out what the problem belongs to; what i have done before the noise comes are bushing grease for the sway bar and new endlinks; I think i set the endlinks a little bit shorter than what I Really need to match the shape that stock endlinks and stock shocks should look like. However, would it really cause the clang noise.

i'd guess you already know this and ruled it out, but there is some sort of ABS check thing the car does when you first start to roll.....

Does that happen at the moment when u release the clutch???
but this noise, i can also feel it beside hearing it...

I believe in the KISS principle......If you JUST did something look there first, and look at systems that could be effected by that. Look for something ELSE after you have made sure the new thing didn't do it

Saying that.....if it isn't the endlinks/sways, then check the motor mounts, shock mounts, brakes.....

could also be the clutch, bracket.....

ya, i checked the endlinks and they are tight, sways are tight too. the greased bushings fixed the previous clicking noise so i also assume that they are good. I wonder if it is the clutch pedal so i am waiting for the mazsport clutch pedal reinforcement kits to come i hope next week. and then i will see what will happen after installing it.

its the abs check...its normal

Does it happen when you come to a complete stop and accelerate again? Or does it do it when you first crank the car and move it?

If its the latter its the ABS check. I feel mine too, makes a loud "clunk" noise and it feels like I ran over something.

If it happens everytime you stop and go thats a different story. I would check sway, struts, and shocks.

philsbluerx8

it happens whenever i move it. so i dont think its the ABS.

DOMINION

+1 my car do the samething every day when I roll out to work. Its that or what Swoope said.

I know what brake pads free themselves motion feels like cuz i experienced this before.
The noise that I felt was more metal to metal and followed by a little shake
