lester_strud Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'm getting a clunking noise coming from the rear and sometimes the right front of the car. It only occurs when I am hard cornering. If I turn the same way more than once the noise does not happen both times. Also under hard breaking the car will sometimes pull one way. Had the brakes checked and they are still at 70% They are DBA's with Hawk pads. You can really notice this when it is wet and you are driving on the highways and then need to brake. Anyone got any ideas as to what this could be or if the two issues are related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sooberoo Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Trunk monkey wants out? Seriously though, sounds like your sway bar bushings might be loose and as a result sway bar slides back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lester_strud Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Are there upgrades to the bushings? I'm assuming these would not be covered under warranty. Would this be a good time to upgrade the whole sway bars and would this reduce the amount drift I'm getting on the highway when it's windy?

snow05gtRI Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 i think the cause of the drifty highway speeds is the lower control arm bushing. at least thats what i've gathered from reading around. and yes you can buy new bushings. i dont have any details for you as i'm looking into the same subject, but they're available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
