This is what the dealer has done so far:
- sway bar end links
- tie rods, inner and outer
- control arm
- tension strut
Clunk still exists! Now they say they have no idea what's causing it and want to keep the vehicle until they figure it out...so I get to drive this $hi77y 320 loaner. 
Anyone have a clue what it might be? |
Let me type down what they did which fixed my similar noise:
