clunking sound when i start my car....

why is this? it doesn't happen all the time. but when it does, it scares the shit out of me. sounds like something is stuck under the car then is forced out of position. do any of you guys hear this sound too? like i said, it doesn't happen all the time.

Do you park your car outside overnight?
Maybe its the family of squirrals

I don't get a clunk when I start the car. There is a noise, maybe similar to your clunk but more like a grmmmpphhhhblat, that happens in about a minute. Its the ABS system charging. My Sienna does the same thing, as well as my older integra.

no, definitley not squirrels. it's just a quick "clunk" right when the car starts...and it seems it comes from the bottom of the car. sometimes i even feel some sort of a bump with the clunk.

As silly as you may think it sounds, alot of cars do this because of an exhaust hanger being loose/misaligned. Flip side, your car would get the "clunk" at other times.

Bottom line......I have no f-in idea.
