Clunking when cornering on my 94 G.T. what's causing this.

daves302gt · 08-25-2003

When I go around corners in my 94 Gt lowered 1.25" I get one clunk. Then, around the next corner opposite the first corner, (like a slalom) I get another single clunk. I think it's coming from the front passenger side front, but am not sure. It's also happens when the pass-front drops into a pothole, it happens probably twice or three times. The Tokiko shocks are probably 30,000 miles old.
Any Ideas?? Thanks

Did you happen to do a front wheel drive conversion? If so then it's probably your cv joints.

Ok, bad joke. Anyway, look for small stuff first, like a wrench that you dropped way back when and never found. If not that, then I'd pull a wheel and start tugging on stuff to see if anything is loose..

Could be a broken sway bar END-LINK, stock ones do break.
