[s-cars] Strange right fron suspension clunk... HELP...

[Levent Cur]

so your saying take it to my guy who did the whole suspension fix and 
have him check the ball joints? its odd cause the suspension doesn't 
clunk at all except for that one time. the strut mounts are ok even,   
also i accidently left this out... today i took the car to them cause 
when you'd push down on the front of the car with the hood up, there was 
some weird rubbing noise. it turned out to be the sway bar rubbing up 
against something they said. that noise it gone but this is new as of 
today.? any ideas?
