Front End Clunk

Hey,

me again, I have had a strange intermittent CLUNK occuring when I brake. This only happens sometimes. The car hit a deer before I got it and the passenger side (the side it is coming from) was rebuilt by who knows who.

It has new struts, brakes( complete), tie rod end, and connecting rods. ( I suspected a bad connecting rod. it was bad, I changed all of them this weekend, but the ClUNCK came back today)

Any suggestions? Has anyone seen a similar problem?

Any help will be helpful

Thanks

Jacuzzo

HI, My '93 Intrepid ES has a front end clunk, we put it on a lift yesterday and found that the clunk is coming from some worn bushings (I think they are called isolator bushings) on the stabilizer bar.
Hope this helps, let me know.

Worn Lower Control Arm Bushings will make a clunk while braking. If that is the culprit then replace the entire arm assembly, that gives you new bushings for the arm and strut rod, as well as a new ball joint.
