dohc v6 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 when ever i go over a bump the left front wheel (driver) i hear a clumk. it is pretty loud. i have replaced the ball joint and the tie rod ends a while back and the front strut. could it be a blown strut. it almost sounds like it is loose. i was changing my ps pump last night and had to turn the wheel alot could that have done it.

Jcrow Posted July 1, 2004 Report Posted July 1, 2004 I climbed under my clunking cutlass last night and found I could move the engine cradle around with a pry bar. I tightend the rear mounts more and it helped (rear mounts are all new), then I went to tighten the front mounts and found the rubber pieces completely disintegrated. Try prying around under the car and if something moves its probably bad Quote
dohc v6 Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Posted July 1, 2004 it was my strut bolt. i could not believe it came loose Quote
Jcrow Posted July 6, 2004 Report Posted July 6, 2004 After I replaced all the bushings it still clunks, not as bad. Over the weekend I made subframe connectors out of angle iron. NO CLUNKS! The engine cradle moving around caused all the clunks, now it handles tighter and the shifts even feel firmer! Quote
