HELP:where else could this noise be from?

[NC325iC]

ok, front right suspension, loud clunking noise. doesnt seem to be ball joints, doesnt seem to be sway mounts, cant find any visible damage, need help with this.

When my CAB blew up the control arm was flopping around inside by about 1/8th of an inch causing a knocking noise at the beginning when accelerating or braking, maybe something to look at? These were urethane ones where the sleve pushed out the back because I accidentally had them in backwards and it was metal knocking on metal but I suppose it could do the same thing with other styles if they were egged out.

Yeah, definitely check the sway bar links. Also, when I had this problem, Jordan recommended that I check to see if a gland nut was loose.

If both of the ball joints are tight make sure the gland nut on the top of the strut is TIGHT.

[NC325iC]

ive checked the gland nut a few times, its definitely not loose, but i cant test if i can get it any tighter without taking the spring out afaik

[bimmer8604]

just hit it with an impact gun. prob just loose.

gland nut holds the shock in place in the strut, correct
the top nut is tight i believe and i dont want to over tighten it

[NC325iC]

collar holding shock in strut FTW,
got a pair of channel locks around it and got 2-3 turns on it... yeah it was loose
