What kind of noise? Clunk? Pop? Squeak? Rattle? There is a service bulletin for at least 8 different front end noises but they are all different. If I find it I will post it.

its more of a clunk you can normally hear it the loudest when you get to a full stop. Brake pads are good tho.

When you stop like once the car comes to a full stop and then once you start going.

Sway bar links, struts, strut boots, steering column, sway bar bushings/clamps, lower control arm bushings. Just to name a few common problems. lol

My front end clunky clunky was these two things. Had a shop press in new moog control arm bushings, and got moog sway bar end links and she's good as new
