My car makes a clunky noise when I hit bumps in the road.Everything on the front end is pretty new. The Air struts ar Arnotts. When I push upand down on the drivers side front end I can hear a clcking noise. It sound like it is comming form either the the upper controlarm area or the area by the master cylinder area. Anyone ever see this?
 
ball joints are sealed. The click definetly sounds like it is comming from the upper drivers side area. It is just hard to tell from what. It sounds as if something is loose. What could be wrong with shock?

I also took the car for an agressive test drive last night. If I drive in a circle the car seems to lean more torwards the drivers side than the passengers side. That would make me think a shock problem.

I've noticed something similar on mine the last couple times I moved it. I think it's because it has been sitting so long?

Well, I instaled a set of used OEM struts. All the noises went away. The problem was definetly the front struts. I am going to cut one open to unerstand how it failed. Can the Arnot's be disassembled?
 
I did not install yours yet.Those will likely go on Sharon's car which is getting a little clunky. I got some from Jeremi too and those showed up first. Yours show up today.
