sometimes you will get a clunk noise if you did not set the springs on the perch of the strut/shock correctly.

So today I went to the shop my sway bar was okay and extremely tight so my mechanic really got into the noise and it was the "Stablilizer link" so I'm gonna order that from the dealer Tuesday but I want the noise to leave! LOL but thanks guys for your help..

He was shakin' the shit out the wheel and that's where the noise was coming from he will grab the sway bar and shake it hard and we got the noise the the link connected to the sway bar you see it move up and down so BOOM the noise came from there!

so there broken?

MrHeeltoe (Marcus) i believe is selling adjustable endlinks, check out the black market

and ive also heard about Moog endlinks which are a bit beefier than OEM
