Going over speed bumps or pot holders, I have a clonk/thump from the engine compartment. It's not droplinks or suspension as far as I can tell. Also replaced these It sounds like heavy plastic and comes approx from the centre. Nothing obvious is loose, battery is tightened down, so I'm out of ideas. It's been constant for years but more pronounced now. Has anyone had the same or have any ideas what do check for?
get it on ramp and with good crow-bar check all suspension joints they're the usual suspects noticeably lower swivel joints
I'm not ruling out top mount. Never had a car where it needed replacement, so I'm not sure what I'm listening for here. To my knowledge, I have no way of checking them while on the car? Bonnet seems all sturdy and perfectly aligned. Not markings from anything hitting it anywhere. Looks as new, but I'll go at it with a bar of some sorts sap They all seems good, as I just did replace the drop links and anti rotation links. There are no apparent play in the swivels, but that does not rule out the noise.. I'll keep that in mind. The issue is just, that is sounds like a loose something. Like if the washer fluid canister was loose. Come to think of that, I should recheck that..
