  • Anoying sound from suspension!!...I think

    ok guys there's this CLUNK noise tht is gettin in my last nerve! is everytime i go over a bump, pothole or any little thing on the street. I used to have a 2000 Lincoln LS V8!!!! Man tht was a fast badass car !..ok anyways it used to do the same sound and they told me tht it was the bushings, so im thinking its the same in the G6 right? is there something else I should know? does anybody has the same problem?

    please help.

    I am trying to locate the same noise on my car also!! I replaced my Sway Bar bushing(assuming thats what your talking about just said bushing) And it did not help!(does not mean thats not yours) I am trying to locate my noise to! Im thinking maybe strut but have to look into it more!

      i fixed a bump noise i had today. make sure your sway bar enlinks are securely tightened down on their mounting points. mine werent and whenever id turn the wheel or go over a bump the sound was so annoying. clunk usually means something that should be tight and secure isnt.

        I had that same kind of thing, although mine was a squeak instead of a clunk

          Any kind of clunk could be your intermediate steering rod, strut mounts, or your bushings.

          Any kind of squeak or rickety sound, is going to be either your bushings again, or 90% of the time, a strut issue.

                I just wiggled my sway bar links and they are tight! Also wiggled my strut and it's tight! What else could this be?

                  you wont nessisarilly be able to recreate the sound with just a wiggle of your hand. the body of the car bears down on those links, when its weight shifts, thatll make a clunk.

                      put the front end on jackstands while you lay under it and someone else turns the wheel all the way one directiona and all they way the other direction over and over while you observe your front end looking for where the sound is coming from.

                        It doesent make the noise when I turn the wheel just when I hit potholes.

                              check all rod ends. they can loosen over time with alot of abuse. theoretically that could mean your bushings have worn out and are too soft now to prevent the bar from hitting the body? idk really what other things could be wrong. can you recreate it pushing down on the front end?
