Hi,
When driving on rough, uneven roads I hear clunking / thumping noise. I tried to record it, but it did not work. I rose front end and both front tires were off ground at the same time. I checked inner outer tie rods no play. lower ball joints no play (there are no upper ball joints). sway bar bushing visually no cracks or collapsed. I shaked the sway bar up and down with both hands no play. however, when I shaked the sway bar ends at the sway bar links I felt/ heard some play/noise but not a lot just a little bit. Could a very little play make that noise when driving on rough roads? also, could the struts make that noise? and how to check struts? And what else can make that noise? btw I checked engine mounts too no cracks or tears.
