Front end clunk clunk noise

Skid plate is trd and it’s firmly in place

 

sometimes the turning stops and bump stops do this

 

Heres the report for reference

 

Have you checked the front body mounts? Those are a common problem. Sound like metal on metal squeaky/clunky sound going over bumbs

 

I second checking the body mounts in the front. I believe the one near the radiator is known to cause problems.

If nothing else is solving the problem, check for cracks along the frame and all cross members in the front (radiator mount I think too). I think there's a few cases on here where people had clunking and creaking and it turned out to be the frame/cross member failing.

 

The one near the radiator on the right side right?

 

Is there a video on this anywhere? I’ve been looking but struggling to find one. Is it a hard job to do yourself?

 

Here is a link to another thread. Mine failed at 7000 miles so was replaced under warranty

The way the tech described being able to recreate the noise is how mine was (aggressive side to side steering while moving). It ended up being the hood squeaking on its stops, but sounded like clunking to me. I greased the hood height adjusters and replaced the little pieces of clear film they touch on the hood with PPF, cause the old ones had squished off to the side and the paint was being worn away.

 

Glad you finally figured it out! Thanks for updating!
