Hey guys, after storing my 2002 Protege5 in a building for some years, seems my daughter could use it so I've pulled it out and started to check it out.
Everything works as I remember but there is a clunking sound coming from the front end that I hear when I cross the RR tracks near me or any sharp bumps and so far I can't find the source. I've checked sway bar bushes, sway bar links, control arm bushes, shock mounts etc., with no luck. Realize, that none of that means I may have tried hard enough so speak up.
So far the ONLY thing I've touched or pried on that is at all loose is the radiator. Not much but I can move it in its mount. Any suggestions as to where I should look? I've not tried to move the engine/transmission around but am happy to give that a go.
Call me confused, lost, or both and really need y'alls thoughts. HUGE thanks.
