I get a knock when I am going about forty mph, then when I go to stop I get a clunk noise in front end. Seems like it is in middle of car towards drivers side.
Everything is new in front end except for sway bar bushings and struts.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.
Does this only happen when you apply the brakes? Also, when you say everything is new, can you tell me what has already been replaced? I have had a couple of these that the lower control arm bolt (where it attaches to the frame) has broken and caused a clunk.

Here is a link to review for finding such noises:

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
