2 subtle issues (odor in ECON, clunking noise in suspension)
I have 2 subtle issues
#1. odor in ECON:
when the climate control is in Auto mode, all is well. but when I press ECON I could smell little odor. it is the cabin filter? or a/c system shoud be cleaned?
#2. little cluking noise/feeling in turn or over a bump.
when or after turning/going over speed bump etc, I feel something is shaking or clunking at the front end. I think something is touching something (feels as if some rubber piece hitting the chasis or something). I could feel it 2-3 times and it goes away as the movement of car settles down. it happens at low speed. very hard to explain in words

the odor is coming from the vent. when the Auto is on, no smell. only when I pressed ECON the odor blows in (well it's not so much odor. but little discomforting smell I never experienced in my previous cars).
I know when the a/c condencer may develop mold or something so it could produce odor when a/c is on. But my case is the opposite. no smell with A/C on but when the ECON is on (the compressor(?) is off) odor blows.
was wondering if this is normal.
so little clunking feeling is from the shocks? shocks seemed to be ok although I've got 130k km on it.

#2 issue has been addressed.
The noise was the supproting bracket (metal piece) of the exhause pipe after the resonator. it was off and loose. welded it back on the pipe.
also the right ball joint was loose, it was replaced.
mechanic lifted the car up and played with the wheel and immediately blamed loose ball joint. I couldn't buy it so I started to check other area and found the piece of bracket hanging loose by the rubber.
I just let him change the ball joint becaue if it was loose it needs to be replaced anyways.
