Front end clunk

MrMayhem said:

Took to dealer for annual inspection and ask them to check out the front end noise. Tech was confident that it was the sway bar end links, although the links appeared to look and operate fine, I ordered up a set of Moog end links and swapped them out. Noise is still present, only good thing is it was simple.

Being that the noise was not present prior the shocks being rebuilt and mid perch I am debating on going back to the low perch.

Does anyone have the clunk while one the stock perch?

So the laundry list of replaced parts comes to:
Lower ball joints x 2, Tie rods x 2, Shocks of course, new hubs x 2 and new IWE's x 2.

Happy to report all is quiet on the front end now.

I was able to wiggle the Hubs by hand when I took them off, and one of the IWE's disintegrated in my hand the other had definite signs a metal wear. Sharp edges and debris.

Tie Rods @ 27.00 x 2
Ball Joints @49.00 x 2
IWE's @ 127.00 pair. ???
Hubs @ 225.00 ea x 2

Not hard and there is a bunch of Youtube videos on it to help you come up with a plan for doing the work. Just remember the first side will take you 3 times longer at least than the second side (you'll have learned the technique by then).

Plan for at least a full workday or two if your not real experienced.
