^ well well.. look who's out of hibernation

 

Hey guys.... anyone selling oem or after market front endlinks..... im hearing a loud weird clunk sound only on the right front side of my car every time i hit a bump....

i did a little research and i found it could be the sway bars or endlinks...

i was thinking the upper control arm (it happened to my dad's benz)

 

First thing is go take a look at the sway bar brackets and end links. Sometimes its hard to tell even if somethin is totally broken.

My sense from a lot of reading is that the control arm problem is relatively rare.
"clunking over bumps" is often a sway bar bushing that needs lubrication, even though it doesnt sound like that would cause a clunking sound....it does.

Do you have stock bars and endlinks? In that case, it could be the arm, but is probably still an endlink issue. They are not great to start with and NYC roads are a killer, and they can break.

If they are aftermarket - definitely inspect and lube the bar brackets. A aftermarket bar will put more strain on the links....i've gone through three different brands/set. Good aftermarket links will be sturdier but are often noisier.

If your springs/shocks have been changed...just double check the nuts on the shock column. And finally, as crazy as this is, if the wheel has been off for any reason in the past few months, double check the wheel lugs are tightened properly. I had some "clunking" too the one time I forgot to tighten them down beyond finger-tight and drove 4 miles that way..... good luck

 

sell my car!!

 

^^^^^ thanks for the help man!!!!!!

i have stock endlinks and sway bars.....

i also hear squaking to

 

let me get the HID fogs for a good price!!!!!

Free?

 

fix the clunk sound.... Elysium i owe you big time lol.... it was the nuts on the shock column.......

front passenger side


front driver side (this is how the nut should be)

 

ahh, glad that helped. That's really interesting though, I was thinking of (and referring to) the three outside nuts that hold the whole column in place. The central one is....different.

But whatever, if that fixed it then good!

(here's some complicated mumbo-jumbo internal thinking that you can ignore!)
If you have lowering springs that are 1.4 inches shorter than stock, while using stock shocks/dampers, then that central nut should be threaded further down compared to stock form, by approximately that same 1.4 inches. If they are REALLY low, i'm not sure if the s-tech's qualify for that, after a certain point the damping will not be good, and the threading might even run out. My point is, if you have stock shocks and significantly shorter springs, then I can see why the central nut might come loose....so....keep an eye on all of them.
