suspension sound help
My car been making suspension noise for some time now, it makes a cluck sound or like something slipping because when I move off it makes the sound again as if something got set back into place that had popped out, SO far I changed inner and outter tie rod, ball joint, and my LCA was replace around the same time it all started, any ideas welcome

How long has it been since the struts, strut bearings, and strut bushings have been replaced?
Can you jack up the car and get enough leverage to grab the tire at the top and bottom and try to move it inward and outward to see if you can cause any camber movement?
Are you seeing any abnormal tire wear?

Dude, a similar thing happened to me when I used cheap Mevotec LCAs on my '97 I30. I replaced every suspension part and engine mount searching for the clunk, and it turned out to be the new Mevotec LCAs that I had just replaced. I swapped out with Dorman LCAs from Rock Auto (which were 15$ cheaper each) and the sounds went away. Lesson learned: sometimes new parts arrive defective, and recheck your work.

I think i been getting the same noise. I replace my struts a few years back and have had this noise for a almost same amount of time. I think its the autozone strut bearings i sawpped in when i did the struts.
I replaced the LCA chasing this noise as well as tie rods and motor mounts. Even replaced all the soft parts for the lower rad support crossmember and still cant find it. It could also be heat shield, IDK man.
