Zeeboy47 Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I picked up the used 2004 Chinook version in Feb, and shortly thereafter began to hear a clunk from the front end. Only seems to happen on the crappy Montreal roads, which for me means all the time ;D Most noticeable at low speeds going over depressions in the road. I think it might be a torsion bar bushing, but hard to verify. Anyone out there see the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a bushing, those Quebec roads can be rather hard on cars I hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to put it under load. I was hoping someone else out there had an 04 with the same symptoms. Regards, Zee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Zee Check out the replies on CarTalkCanada, the sway bars are the consensus there. articsteve figures about $35 per side for aftermarket and $80 from the dealer.
