Clunking when going over bumps, potholes, or turns

Component

Suspension

Summary

Clunking when going over bumps, potholes, or turns. During diagnosis dealers may find rubber separating from the bushing on the tension link. This is normal and most likely is not attributed to the noise. Please follow normal diagnosis and ensure all tie-rod and ball joints are properly torqued and if worn, replace. If diagnosis leads to lower control arm replacement, the tension link(s) should be replaced first then test driven to ensure noise has disappeared before any handling link replacements.
