Every morning, I'm greeted by a metallic noise on short, abrupt bumps on the left front corner. It's not a thud or a thunk and I can't feel it through the car, it's only a noise.

Best way to explain the sound? Take a quarter, hold against the surface of a laminate table with some pressure, and then push it quickly about a foot. It's not a clanging noise, but more of a yoke-ing noise.

I haven't hit anything hard recently, but I have done a brake check to avoid a deer. I don't know if that's what started the noise or not.

The worst part is that the noise is gone before I have a chance to really isolate it. The noise is gone after about a mile.

Any ideas on what this could be? I'm on stock suspension, my CABs are making a little noise and need to be replaced and the wheels haven't been taken off or rotated since the noise began.

 

left upper strut bushing making noise replace part

 

I'll be replacing that in a few weeks when I put the new springs/struts on. Hoping that'll fix it all.
