Well when driving around every once in a while I get this clunk in the front passenger side suspension. It will happen when turning right or left. It happens while going straight sometimes too, but only when I hit bumps going straight. It doesn't do it every time either. When turning it will do it whether theres a bump or not.
Any ideas on what it could be? I'm thinking maybe the uca hitting the coil? But I'm not sure. I have enough room to stick my fingers between the uca and coils, but thats about all.
I'm pretty sure all the bolts are nice and tight, but I will be double checking later when I get back from the commissary.

had this problem recheck the sway bar links they are most likely what is causing the noise. It seems if they are not exactly torqued they will make a clunking noise.

I will give that a check when I'm under there later.
I put the passenger side bolt on backwards. I kinda forgot how it went on after I took it off, lol.

I don't even have a torque wrench though. How much do those typically run?

They probably do, but I'll just look for one to borrow one for now. Maybe I'll just buy one for future use since I do a lot of work on my driveway. I bet my neighbor has a torque wrench.
