bushings changed STILL CLUNK WTF what next????

[Nstysti]

hey all... So today I replaced the Bushings on my 05 300c and still have the noise.. you can only notice it when going 5-10 MPH tops.. I am seeing that people are replacing the sway bay links as well... basically the noise that I am hearing sounds like the strut is lose up front... do you know what that sounds like because I put coilovers on my srt-4 and forgot to torque down the top bolts and it sounded the same way.. checked the bolts and they were tight... do you think that it is the sway bar links??? also for anyone that wants to save money do the bushings yourself... took me about 10 minutes... and yes I did remember to torque them down... PLEASE help if anyone thinks they know what the problem is...PLEASE

Took one side of the sway bar link off the sway bar and zip tied it to the strut so it wouldnt be connected and still there... Also took it to the dealership and had a guy to a ride along and he doesnt think that it is in the rack or lower ball joint but he doesnt think that it is a tie rod either.. he said the sound was different from that of a tie rod..

tie rods are like 26 bux, definitely change hose out. Think its the lower tie rods you need

i got the same damn noise , 105k miles... i changed the tie rod ends, and ball joints , and sway bar bushing ,i even put new struts in , im having the pedders guys come out to figure
what the heck i need to make this noise go away . ill keep u in the loop

thanks man i appreciate it

Check tension struts ball joint side. They are very hard to diagnose you have to grab it and pull up on them from under the car. If you have replaced the sway bar bushings and it is not the links, It is probably tension strut.

Silly question, but have you checked the torque of everything, and grabbed onto everything to make sure it does not move?

there has been a number of upper strut mounts going bad, for a short term fix, you can try spring some WD 40 into the bushing from the ending conpartment

mike ive tried the wd40 already ... didnt do anything... we replaced the lower aarm bushes with pedders ones already as well. this noise is driving me crazy.
