Hi, I have a '98 Regal LS.
I recently replaced the driver's side axle
and ever since then, i have been getting
this unusual clunking noise on the drivers side.
The clunking noise happens when I accelerate
from a complete stop, and when i apply the brake.
It also clunks when i'm taking a turn or pulling up
a driveway.
I replaced the struts, tie rod ends, and ball joints,
and still getting the noise.
I'm more than sure it's not the motor mounts,
cuz' i don't feel the clunk in the body.
It's not affecting the driving performance of
the car... Totally lost...
Any ideas anyone!?

Whats the mileage?
Another possibility is the hub assembly. Was it ever replaced? What torque figure was used on the axle nut?

The car has 193k on it.
As far as i know, the hub has never been replaced.
I've owned the vehicle for a couple months now...
I took the car down to the shop today to get an alignment
done, after that, the car stopped clunking...
Problem solved I guess?
Thanks for the response.
