Front clunk noise found!

[SCAR911]

So...been reading every post. Making my own posts about parts, etc etc..but I found the clunk, finally! maybe it will apply to you. I have a 17 with just 26k miles on it. I've noticed a clunk sound at low speeds, usually on small bumps and such. I couldn't stand it and searched and searched till I found the cause. Buddy was looking around while I was pushing the front bumper down over and over. Turns out it was the top shock nut. Both sides were backed off by a good half inch! No idea why, but after tightening them down, the sound is gone. If you have the clunk..take a look at those top nuts.

That's odd. Glad you were able to fix it

My nuts clunk every once in a while. Sometimes it’s so loud, it’s a signal to my wife for a fix.

That could have become a safety issue! I'm glad you shared this.
Thank you.

You’re darn right. It could lead to an emergency overflow. Lol.

Can the passenger side one be accessed from the top as well? I might pull the battery over the weekend and see. I have a clunk too and I am leaning towards this being the cause.

Like the Op said. it was 1/4" inch from being right!

Mine used to clunk a lot. Now I just tuck them into my knee-high dress socks. Easy fix!
