When I go over bumps the passenger side front end makes a clunking sound while the drivers side doesn't - it sounds like something's loose. Anybody else experience this? Mentioned it to the dealer last time, they said they couldn't find any problem but the passenger side definitely sounds different than the driver's side which concerns me.


Love this forum, so helpful!

It could be a strut link, shock bushing, loose strut attachment, or defective strut. All are relatively easy to check. If you take it in to a front end or alignment shop they can check it in a few minutes, probably for $25. Describe the noise to them and ask if they have five minutes to put it on their lift and show you what is warn or loose. Then get it to the dealer with the facts. There is little incentive for the dealer to find it if they have to warrantee repair it, just not enough $ in it for them.
Good luck

Thanks, it's sounded like that from day one, like something is loose.
