I had a clunking noise while turning or braking for a while, then it disapeared. And now it is back...

Happens when I brake - release the brakes and then hit them again - this way the problem happens every time - otherwise it will happen randomly when I brake.

Seems to be caused by the wieght transfer to the front.

Wich I thought were involving my Tension Rods - but I already have changed them for Adjustable Tension rods - Also if that can help I have some tanabe ss coilovers and stock upper mount.

Anybody knows where that noise could come from ?

What other bushing do I have to replace

I have the same problem and I think it's the coilover spring. It could be my brakes too because I just installed new calipers and I can hear the noise from left and/or right.

are you sure you tightened the coilover lock nuts enough? I had that problem at low speed turning/reversing and found out my lock nuts loosened themselves..

O, haha, so this is your SN.

Hmmmm, if it's not that those coilover nuts are too loose, then I'm not sure bcs I didn't remember your bushings being bad or anything like that. Guess we'll have to see next time your in the neighborhood .

Or maybe it is that dustshield that we bent out of the way, but that should make a relatively constant sound.
