Clunking noise

[SallySpeed3]

Hey guys. I posted a couple months ago about a weird noise coming from what I figured was the engine bay. Turns out it could have been my test-pipe bracket rubbing against the rod that holds the grommet. Took care of that and also upped my idle rpms to 950 to get rid of oil smoke. Needless to say, its not a problem anymore. But I still have a strange noise coming from the front of the car. I can hear it while coming to a stop or going over bumps slowly, like when I pull out of my driveway.

Pretty sure its from the driverside of the engine bay. I read before that the swaylink bolts? don't know if thats right, can come loose. Could it also be something loose in the drivetrain? Performance does not seem to be affected at all, car is running pretty good for the most part.

might be the welds on the stabilizer bracket that connects to the Cobb SRI. It isnt uncommon for those (stock) welds to give.

hmm, well the bracket is a little loose. hadn't thought of that

While the bracket is able to move a little bit it's definitely not whats making the noise. back to the drawing board....

I had something similar to this a couple weeks ago.. turned out my sway bar brackets were all dried up.. Ya might want to try regreasing them with some white lithium lube, if they were loose there's a chance the lube could have been dried up.

thanks i'll give that a shot. Lithium lube? Would you get that at lowes or home depot?

Yeah, make sure it's white lithium. At a Lowes, Home Depot, and I'm pretty sure AutoZone would have it too.
