I've been getting a clunk on the front passenger side when go over small bumps and such. I also notice when I'm standing still and I wiggle the steering wheel back and forth I can feel a small clunk in the floor, any ideas? Strut problem or ball joint, or etc? I only have 15k on it and it's an 08.

Try tightening the top bolt on the front sway bar end link. If you jack up your car just before the front tire lifts off the ground, you will see a bolt that is behind the top part of your tire. It will take a wrench and a ratchet at the same time to tighten. I think it is an 18mm wrench and an 8 mm ratchet. The ratchet will hold the stud from moving and the wrench will tighten the nut.

This happens to mine periodically and all I have to do it tighten it (the nut tightens about 1/4 of a turn when it gets loose and starts to clunk over small bumps)

So it's in the fenderwell, I'll have to check that. Thanks!

Try searching 'chuckle' for posts about the clunking.
Do you have the water leak as well?

Starfire

No water leak, just that clunk.

stock suspension?? if not, are you still using the stock shock/strut mounts?

Starfire

All stock.

I had a front end noise and I went to the local shop and they put the car on the lift, greased and tightened everything and no more clunk.

Yeah it guess it's either the strut mount or the end link.

strut mount is strong possibility. usually they clunk when the car is sitting on a aftermarket suspension.

i sometimes get the clunk when i turn/accelerate/brake at a very low speed.
