I've got the chuckle now! Just ordered part number 8R3Z-18183-B strut mounts. The noise started last week at 12,000 miles. Found this thread and now I'll put the parts in myself. Thanks for the info guys.

Hey yall! How's things been goin? I've been off this forum for months doin other things. Thought I'd stop in to see how this thread is doing. Wow! I can see lots more people have hooked up and gotten help from here. Cool! So happy it has helped so many people!
My car is still not thunking by the way. Have almost 21K on her now. Still quiet! I think I had the strut mounts changed back at around 4 to 6K miles if I remember correctly. So it's a good lasting fix for those wondering,,, so far ;-).
Still haven't added the supercharger but soon, that is soon after the economy turns around. Geesh! Can you believe those jerks! Biggest screw up in history and it could have been prevented! Okay, have fun yall and good luck to everyone during these tough times!

I have a 2008 gt and have the same clunk/thunk
I read through the entire forum and there hasn't been
a 2008 here with the problem but I'm almost certain it comes from my shocks/struts
what do u guys think
btw I'm really impressed by the hard work and
help u guys have shown

 

Hi Guys,

I have a 2008 GT500 with the same noise since day one I have installed Steeda HD Mounts and still pops and thunks over the slightest bump Seems to be mostly on driverside what do you guys think.

 

Hmmm, the '08 were supposed to have the new updated mounts. Check your end links.

 

Have checked end links and all other nuts and bolts in the front. Dealer is telling me that it is my Eibach Pro Kit Springs.

 

I have an 08 and I have the issue also. I just purchased the new strut bearings yesterday and are putting them on in two weeks. My dealer told me I had the new ones but these look slightly different then the ones that are currently on my car. We will see if it is fixed after replacing them.

 

I'm sorry to say that as the temperatures are dropping around here, I too am starting to notice the "front-end clunk" noise from my 08. And here I thought I had dodged a bullet, getting an 08 as a replacement from my 06, which definitely had this problem.

It's always something with these cars...it's a love/hate relationship :-\

 

i hit a pothole the other day and now has a clunking that sounds exactly what is described in this thread. is it even worth taking to the dealer since i'm not under warranty any more?
