when i climb up a curb or break fast i get a loud click clonk noise in the car sounds like sumthing is goin to fall off , what are the places i should check .. i took the wheel off and looked at the front suspension and i cant find anything could it be engine mounts ?? what is known wear out and make that noise ,
I have similar issue. New tension rods, inner/outer tie rods etc. Only started couple of weeks ago. Eric had a look and thinks it could be the steering knuckle so I'm going to try another one. Could be a range of things on any given car tho.
front tension rod bushing are most common for this. Stock are the best, ive seen heaps of cars with aftermarket arms that do it.
Front caster bushes. Front shocks, especially if coilovers. Upper control arm bushes Steering rack Almost all of these won't be easily diagnosed as the pressure you'd be able to put on it won't come close to what it would experience during braking or mounting the kerb. Caster bushings when shagged will be wet with a clear fluid...if so, replace. You will also be able to see if your top control arm bushings are shot. With the wheel off the ground, it should be no play in it at all, if it jiggles, then get your rack checked out. And lastly, shocks, you can't really tell, but check for leaks anyway. Other thought is that you maybe take it to pedders or midas for a check.
