Getting a clunk/groan from front end.......

Whenever I start my car and begin to roll forward, my front end lets out a clunk or a groan when I start to turn the wheel. All my suspension components have been recently replaced, and the car is not out of alignment. I have an Eibach/Tokico set-up.

One thing after another with this friggin car......my 3rd Gen had a much better build quality.

Ok, just remove the strut bar and go for a run. I'm saying that because i had a kind of groan sound since i got my strut bar and today i just remove it to make a test and no more groan. Try it perhaps it's gonna be your problem. 5 minutes removal, it worth it.

Thanks WhiteMax96, I'll give it a shot.

This may help as well.

The following is from a tire "Q&A"

Q - I have a roaring noise and it seems to be coming from my tires. Someone told me it's the wheel bearings.

A- It could be coming from your tires and be due to "cupping". Cupped tires have highs and lows in the tread. This can happen if the tires are not rotated regularly. Worn suspension parts such as shock absorbers, ball joints, springs or struts can also cause cupping. You should have your vehicle inspected to isolate your problem and correct it.
