clunking noise at a crawl

[chrissbee77]

2001 grand prix gt 3.8 n/s. when i put it in drive and let the car creep forward on its own i say around maybe 1-5 mph. i hear a clunking noise coming from the front of the car. any ideas. it has brand new wheel bearings

Was the clunking there before the hubs were replaced? What brand hubs and what axle nut torque was used?

I used timken hubs and followed the procedure on the tips forum. I torqued everythignto spec. the noise was present befor the hubs also

friend said my stabilizer links were bad. how hard are these to replace and what brand should i buy. is there a writeup to this and last but not least what sort of expensive special tools will i need. Thanks everyone

Not too bad to replace, but they get rusty over the years and are sometimes hard to get off without using a hacksaw.

Check and make sure the stabilizer bar isnt cracked before you just replace the links. The bars seem to break before the links on these cars.
