Thank you for the video. As I do have an issue with mine. I appreciate these videos' help to others.

Man, I went through all this just to find out. It was the metal rod that holds the hood.😂😂

I replaced, both sides : sway bar links, sway bar mount bushings, ball joints both sides struts mounts and I still hear the clinking on potholes only. Everything else is solid. It's driving me crazy. Where else should I check

Diagnosing is always the first step, but then common sense is also good to follow. Sometimes your car will have known tendencies as to parts failure at certain miles or age. It's good to know your car and possibly belong to any forums on the web.

Sometimes you have to use chassis ears for those really hard to find noises

Hi Brother, you're knowledge and presentation is very good, Great job. Whats it likely to be if there's a clunk on my 1999 Honda civic everytime i pull away forward or back or punch the gas when coasting

I got a 1994 Jeep Cherokee XJ. Sometimes when I start it and put it into drive, it won't take off immediately, until I rock back and forth a bit, then I'll hear a clunk in the back end and it will start moving. Seems like something is sticking, maybe the drum brake shoes need an adjustment you think?

One of the CV axles seems to be leaking grease or something like that. If I'm not wrong it was the driver's side

Another tip is remove any clutter that may create any metal sound

[rebekamcclure]

Does it have a concealed carry pocket?

2104 impala lt i took sway bar links off and no noise, they dont sell sway bay bushings for my car..advise i dont want to buy a sway bar.

[zoop]

Of course the sway bar is going to move when placing a pry bar on it as you did.

Can a repair like this with the swaybar links wait it out for a bit aside from it being really noisy or the compromise of the stiffness and the stability make the vehicle to be really unsafe?

I've got rattling & clunking. My cat fell apart from the inside, sounds like marbles bouncing around when i start my e46. Good times lol
