His links have play it has to be that?
The only way I can see steering rack would affect is stationary and steering lock to lock and hearing some popping. Unless his rack would be basically not tightened at all, I fail to see how it would clunk when driving. I had my rack not torqued to the full 41 ft lbs + 90° and as soon did I did torque it completely to spec no more popping. But I never had clunking. |

I guess I would describe it more as a pop sound then a clunking sound

Popping or clunking is subjective to who's hearing it.....either way there is an issue that I need to sort out

I agree I thinks its the links, I don't think they should have that much play in them

I just checked the whole suspension on my car this week end part of a vehicle check and I'm surprised at 75k miles everything is tight and feels brand new apart from my front 2 links.

Super curious to see what happens if he does. I drove for a week without endlinks as I waited for my adjustable ones to come in. With the old, new, or none at all I still get a clunk. Everything feels tight until its on the road

Ended up being the strut bar bolts were slightly loose, specifically the one at the back of the engine where the two bars meet.

Nice.
I just changed mine and my rare clunk is now completely gone. I have to say the new end links weren't as tight as I expected it, so perhaps that is why my current clunking was only on rare occasions sand the problem was just starting to develop. |

I think I found the source of my clunk.. Weird thing is the sway bar felt tight when I moved it around when I was searching for it months ago
