Front suspension clunk under acceleration after braking to stop
Front suspension clunk under acceleration after braking to stop
Hello all. Just looking for some problem solving advice here:
My Max is is making a clunk niose (I can feel it too) during acceleration - appears to "reset" after breaking to a stop.
Background: Replaced struts, strut mounts, springs (Tein-H) last month and initially everything was fine for 700 miles or so - I have since checked and re-checked torque on all bolts/nuts to cure problem to no avail.
My first thought was ball joints - however I replaced these last year and I'm doubtful - I went ahead and ordered new ones thinking that my lowered ride stressed (lowering springs and GR-2s) them into a new wear pattern.
Anyway, is there a chance that this is related to the dreaded engine mount issue I have read about here on the org?
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try checking the front stabilizer bar bushings, if these are worn out, particularly on one side of the bar, then it can cause a clunk sound when accelerating or stopping, depending on which side is worn out.
