#28485, "slight banging when going over small bumps?"


          

lately when i go over small bumps there seems to be a slight banging like something seems loose in the front and rear. Is it possible that when the stablizer links go bad there will be a banging, because when i put my new sways on they didnt look that good I just havent gotten around to replacing them. any feedback will be great thanks

Can you explain banging? Is it continuous or one or two bangs? Or is it more like a clunk? Does it get worse with the severity of the bump? Need situational specifics... It will help to pinpoint things.

So now at 44 what the hell do I do?

it def depeneds on the size of the bump, i would say that yea its def more of a clunk then a bang i guess and when it happens there is like multiple ones, but then again roads around here are terrible

i've got the same problem, found it to be the upper control arm cam bolts. wiggle the studs with nuts coming through the strut tower housing.

Check the rear bushings in the suspension. Mine are toast and I get a clunk each time I hit a bump.
