Car - ST162 Celcia

motor - 3sge

use - Daily

problem - Slight clunking noise that occurs going over uneven roads coming from LH front suspension (i think). Can only be herd at "low speed" in relation to shock movement. I.e. travelling along road with slight increases and decreases in road surface. Going over a speed bump for example noise is not herd. Or over 2500 rpm as exhaust drowns out thbe noise.

occurs/started when - couple of weeks ago - could hardly be herd but now more noticable.

personal situation - um... single???

I just want to see if anyone has any ideas what to look at - what it might be. I recently replace the suspension so im going to rip it out again and make sure everything is ok. Dosen't occur when turning (unless the is suspension movement due to road condition) so dont think its the ball joint but will check it anyway.

check your wheel bearings

also what exactly did you replace when you say "replaced suspension". just shocks and springs?

replaced shock inserts (kyb) and springs. and rears whole strut and springs. Going to rip out the shock at some point on saturday and have a look at it. Have some new front rotors on the way cause they were a mm under spec, but i doubt thats related.

added wheel bearing to the 'to check list'
