Ok, so far I have repalced the struts, control arms with new bushings and ball joints, new end links, and today new sway bar bushings. I am still getting a clunking sound, but only when driving slow and not consistently. Anybody have any ideas of where to look next? I have an appointment for it to go in next Tuesday, really tired of changing parts.

Strut bearing?

Is it possible I got bad Mounts? Those are new also.

Greybeard999

Not necessarily, a lot of guys don't get new ones when they get struts and I was guessing you didn't. You are saying you have new top strut bearings, right?

dr_fosg8

If the bearings come inside the new top mounts then yes they are new. I was talking to a guy at work that suggested it might be a worn axle. Any thoughts on that? That makes sense since I only get the noise at low speed when turning over bumps such as entering and leaving driveways

the problem could be the intermediate shaft. it is a common problem on these. it sounds to me like the same noise i currently have and that is what mine is. only problem is that even after replaced they tend to go out again.

I have found the problem to be with the springs that came installed on the Monroe quick struts. The the top two coils of the spring were rubbing/binding together creating the noise.
