Hi all, per the title. Its a 2010 with 140,000kms (80,000 miles).
Bought it used about a year ago, so not sure on previous repair history.
When driving straight and even over some bumps, the front end is relatively quiet.
However when turning (in either direction) and driving over bumps, the front end sounds like its going to fall off. Clunk clunk clunk like is typical of wickedly worn out stabilizer links.
I'm pretty good with cars - knowledge and hands on, and this has me stumped. I even had a mechanic friend come have a look and he too is stumped.
Everything I check by pushing, pulling, banging and prying is solid and free of play (sway bar bushings, stabilizer links, motor mounts, tie-rods, etc.). I have found a tiny amount of play in the lower ball joints, but that is it.
The wheel turns easily and doesn't make any popping or crunching sounds like the strut bearing mount my be seized.
Anyone else experience this and figure it out?
Thanks,
Mike
