Light clunk/rattle in the front end going over bumps

[Patty]

So.. when I go over bumps I hear a little clunking/rattle noise coming from my front end, I brought it into Crappy Tire to have it checked out and they said all they could find is a worn front stabilizer link. But in the notes on my receipt they wrote it was full of mud and grass and will require additional time to locate "other noises". Do you guys think that's really all it is? Sounds to me like something is hanging and when u hit a bump it bumps around, or did they get a bit sour about it being full of dirt and just sent me on my way without digging deeper. What I paid for was a Steering and Suspension Inspection, $53.

Sounds like a strut problem to me, or even a sway bar end link. Easy fix....

+1 on the swaybar end link. Try grabbing it and see if it moves freely. Can you make the noise by rocking your Pathy from side to side while it's stationary?

im sure thats all it is cause they are trained to replace anything LOL i have had strut mounts do that also sway links and a ball joint all make the same sound

If you bounce it around by hand it does make the little rattle sound. Maybe that all it is then.
