Front end clunk?

[dpshook]

I have had this problem and now it has gotten worse. I have replaced the inner & outer tie rods, and sway bar links. When i remove the wheel and put a jack underneath the lower ball joint and bounce on the the car it doesnt make the noise, BUT when the car is on the ground with the tire/wheel on and i (bounce) put weight on car the noise returns.??

Basically has anyone fixed there clunk but replacing the ball joints?


Ok just talked to the technician at my local Dodge dealership and he is not aware of these cars having a front end clunk problem? Either he is in denial or just hasn't come across this chronic problem.

I noticed a lot of dealerships play stupid when I mention the front end clunk that I believe over 75% of us have or more. they jsut want us to come in to spend $100 to just look at the car to say your right there is a clunk!!! DUH!! I would put $$ on it is your tension struts.
