I have a clunk that usually happens at low speeds (like back out) in my drivers side suspension. Everything is tight, control arms are new. Can a strut mount bearing go bad and make a clunking noise?
I greased them recently when I swapped lowering springs, but I honestly dont know if they can be bad...

It isnt the steering shaft either.

 

I've got that too. I'll see what others say. I also changed the LCA bushing and sway bar end links to no avail. I'm thinking the strut mount bearing as well but i got tired of blinding swapping parts.

 

If you rock your steering wheel back and forth does it clunk?

It could be the steering shaft or the end links as well.

New control arms don't always mean much since the cabs are garbage on them. Could tear in under 5k

 

I know you said steering shaft was good but I finally figured mine out after a year of throwing parts at it
The shaft was fine but the end of the bolt in the engine compartment had been damaged so even torqued to spec with red loctite the intermediate shaft would skip on the steering gear shaft causing a clunk at low speed when I turned the wheel. New bolt a little over totqued and plenty of loctite and its been good for a couple months

To answer your question yes a strut mount will clunk

 

I would check the sway bar bushings

 

Riceburner just sent me some new ones. I didnt think about those honestly.


I got the car aligned last night. Every single column was red. Every one. lol. Pulling apart pretty much every suspension related component really took things out of alignment even though I marked things and tried to get them back in the same spot. It is going to need another one.
I am going to replace both strut mounts, sway bar bushings, and tie rod ends next weekend. I am also going to slot the top bolt holes on my struts to get some camber adjustment going.

No, if I wiggle the steering wheel the car does not clunk. The car has to be moving and turning the right speed and angle to do it and it is just one clunk.

 

I guess if your clunk goes away it narrows mine down to three possibilities. The sway bar bushings is another one of those things I wish I had done while the engine was out. The sway bar was just sitting there.
