- Control arm bushings: Worn or damaged control arm bushings can cause a clunking noise when the suspension moves. The control arms are responsible for connecting the wheels to the frame of the vehicle, and the bushings help to absorb shock and vibration. If the bushings are worn, they can allow the control arms to move around too much, which can cause a clunking noise.
- Sway bar links: The sway bar links help to keep the vehicle from rolling over when cornering. If the sway bar links are loose or damaged, they can also cause a clunking noise. Inspect the sway bar links for damage or excessive play.
- Tie rod ends: The tie rod ends connect the steering rack to the wheels. If the tie rod ends are worn or damaged, they can cause a clunking noise when the vehicle is turned. Inspect the tie rod ends for damage or play.
- Ball joints: The ball joints connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. If the ball joints are worn or damaged, they can cause a clunking noise when the vehicle is turned. Inspect the ball joints for damage or play.
