Just want to see what others thought, or if someone had the same problem before.
no, no... I didn’t mention that for your sake... trust me, 1 week or 1 yr (maybe 3) someone will do a search on this topic... bad info stays in history for all future research. Thats why many of us (maybe even you) get so frustrated with ppl that simply relay info they hear/red (and many times misinterpret)...

Its always best to try and determine info based on as many owners experience rather than "theory" or what they “heard/read"...

Everything I've done to my car was after lots of research from others that did the same things (well not everything, a few things I was ballzy enough to try before anyone else).

Point is - I wasn’t saying you were the guy that would mistake his "messing with you" mis-diagnosis... but other future reads might.

Back to topic... I bet both our "clunk" will be corrected with end links... I'm just discouraged at the lack of offerings...

Hopefully you’ll have better luck than me... I had mine on a rack today... grabbed and shook EVERYTHING! Twisted and inspected the end links and nothing seemed out of the ordinary... did it under suspension load and suspended form jack points... I don’t think my sound can be isolated from under car... My primary concern was/is an upcoming track day at autoclub speedway - getting an the NASCAR track taking 2 banks of the oval at 120-140...

If I don’t slam into a wall I guess things are okay

Also OCG35-if it were the compression rods would it only make that sound at take-off only? Thats the only time i hear the noise.

Also if i take off slow, whatever it is, makes no noise!
Did you find out what it was my car does the same thing and I don't know what it is
