    Superbee w front clunk

    I've got the clunks GDmit and I'm not happy. I took her in Monday, said sway end links and changed them out. Drive home feeling good till my driveway and clunk or rather clink clink. Same sound. What's next? Any ideas? I'm thinking tie rod but surely that woulda been the first they checked. Help. I hate the clunks.

    No sir, it's more at real slow speeds going over abnormal pavement. Sounds like a 'clink' but it's when turning.

    Did you replace the sway bar bushing? or the links. Links are usually ok on these cars. Bushings are junk though. cheap fix to. on 12 dollars at the dealer.. and it's a DIY project..

    Happen to me! It's definitely the suspension. Every bolt on your suspension needa to be inspected and/or tightened. They tightened just one bolt about a 1/4inch and the sound went away for good. Go to a shop n have them tighten up everything in your front sway bars and control arms.

    That right there might be the answer to my clunk problem, because I never had the clunk until my BC Coilovers were installed.

    Well, the Mayans and other Soothsayers were right, the end has begun.

    Common sense is so rare it should be considered a superpower

    I can hear the tie rod when i turn the wheel to the left while at a stop.

    Front end "Klunk" can be any (or some...or all) of the following:

    -Tie Rod Ends
    -Ball Joints
    -Sway Bay End Links
    -Tension Strut bushings
    -Lower control Arm Bushings
    -Upper Control Arm Bushings

    The Rubber bushings in the tension struts and control arms cars have a tendency to tear.....it is a common issue


    I had the "klunk" in my Magnum and it was the Tension Strut Bushings..........I currently have to replace the Tension struts and lower control ams in my SRT8 Charger as I have the "Klunk" and the bushings are showing signs of tearing.

    This is an example of what to look for:
