Clunk Clunk Clunk...gets old after a while! =X

[BMW4LIFE]

So I was out and about and noticed that the front (especially right corner) of my car would clunk over every little bump on the road...and I mean EVERY!

Unless the road is like glass, I hear this dang clunk all over

I have changed the from sway bars (which I thought would be the cause) but no relief

I was thinking maybe something with the struts? like that foam piece that is suppose to go in could corroded?

Any help?

Thanks!

The sway bar links should be replaced..

[BMW4LIFE]

So as I stated above...

I have just recently replaced the sway bar link with brand new lemforders

so that can not be the problem!

[Jehu]

lol.. sorry I need to get some sleep..

[BMW4LIFE]

No worries! =)

BMW4LIFE: so what was your fix?
My '90 535 starting doing the exact same thing. The dome reflectors separating lanes is an ideal example. Slow speeds of 10-30mph cause this clunk which sounds like a bushing in a ball-joint gone bad. Mine seems to happen only on the right front. Very annoying. Also did thrust arms and upper control rod a few years back. Sounds like it could be a loose strut too.
Did the sway bar link bolt tightening do the trick? thx

[BigKriss]

okay, the balljoints on the upper and lower control arms, are they torn or look intact?

[BMW4LIFE]

From what I saw when I changed my oil last everything seemed pretty much intact...I will have to go under the car again and see...

I'll try to take some pic being that I am sure you guys will see things that I will miss

I don't think that foam piece matters. But how about the strut mounts? I don't know about the fronts, but the rears can wear out and become loose.

[BMW4LIFE]

Where are these mounts? Can I see them from above or under? I always thought it was the bump stops being that when I changed (had them changed) I never bought the stops and just gave him the struts to replace
