still clunking, please help

ok im going nuts over here, lol the past week i have spent a ffew hundred re doing my front suspension... poly control arm bushings... then last night i put new SS struts on and new strut mounts. along with new brakes.. (i have eibach sportlines) the car rides amazing but when i hit bumps driving the suspension still makes noise what the heck can it be???? i rechecked everything and it seams tight... what i did notice when i tightened everything up and took the spring compressor off the top strut mount could spin nice and smooth but thats how it should be not all weird like the old ones... i checked ball joints and all other stuff and it seamed good. but from what iv heard it is the swaybar end links???? please help

Loosen and retorque the swaybar end links -- assuming everything else is tight, it's a likely source of your 'clunking' noise.

its probably ur endlinks, replace with powergrids and forget about it. or use the cheaper replacements if u like to replace ur endlinks often.

check steering shaft\intermediate shaft they tend to knock on most chevys.


sorry i forgot you need to exercise the shaft as per gm

release the bolt and literly jack off the shaft to get the grease in all the places

ottperformance and i believe $180 not worth it for you.... just buy the moog ones from autozone. it is a possibility thats whats wrong... people point fingers at the endlinks all the time its NOT always the links, mine have 56k miles on them and they are just as tight as the day i bought the car... as well as poly CAB suck... how many miles are on them?
