Here is my problem, going down the road there is a clunking noise that seems to be coming from the left front drivers side wheel. I've replaced the LCR with new bushings and a ball joint. Next I put a new CV joint in and new inner and outer tie rod for the drivers side. The car had new struts and strut mounts put in last year. The problem seems to be at lower speed <50 and when parking you can hear something groaning and creeking. Im really lost here

 

How are your sway bar bushings and end links?

 

They looked ok to me, they seemed to have been replaced not too long ago.

 

What struts were installed?

Meaning, what brand and all.

Also, did you transplant springs into the new struts? If so, what springs?

 

The other possibilities are your transmission mount and your steering rack bushings.

 

True but the OP described that he's experiencing a "noise".

Though those breakdowns can and will produce a noise, they're also accompanied by stuff that will be "felt".

To the OP:

Along with the stuff you hear, are you feeling anything ... in the steering wheel, in the pedals, in your heels, in your butt, in shift lever?

 

It feels like a clunking like a bad bushing of somewhat, tomorrow I'm going to check the steering rack bushings. To replace those do you need to drop the whole rack??

 

So you CAN feel it?

That's significant and important info to have presented at the beginning.

 

He described the same noise as both 'clunking' and 'groaning and creeking', so I interpreted liberally to include feeling as well as hearing.

 

I'm going to go with wheel bearings.

 

Strut bearings, wheel bearings, sway bar bushings/links, check if ur battery is tied down properly check if ur hood still has the rubber stopper, if not the hood will bang up and down and produce a thump sound, check for anything loose under the hood, theres plenty that can cause thumps and sounds in the front suspension

 

All in all more info is needed or a sound video or something theres too many culprits for this issue and it could be numerous things
