    I want to thank you and other creators for having these EXTREMELY helpful videos, because of your and other videos I was able to successfully change the suspension on my sisters charger. Thanks for giving me the confidence with your helpful videos to help out my family and get comfortable working on cars.

    If you have tried everything and still have a clunking sound when going over bumps, then take a look at your transmission's mounting bracket. It may be the problem. It was in my case. I had been chasing the cause of the clunking noise when going over bumps for months. I changed the strut assemblies, the sway bar bushings, the sway bar links, the lower forward facing control arm, and the lower rear facing control arms. I changed all those components and still had the problem. I looked all over the web for a solution, but could not find anything that I hadn't tried. Ultimately, I put the car on a lift and started examining the car from underneath with a pry bar and was shocked to see that the transmission mounting bracket was broken. It was a mess. It was still in place, but in 3 pieces. I must have wacked the tar out of it sometime in the past and not examined it properly. When going over bumps, the clunk was awful and loud. Swapped it out and it's like a whole new car. Finally. Good Luck.

    I had to replace the sway bar bushings on my daughters 300. They had a few different sizes. I measured the bar and it took the 1 inch bushings. The bushings the prior owner put on were the wrong size. Replacing those stopped some noise but I need to replace more parts to stop those crazy clunks and creeks the suspension makes. One noise was the spindle with no grease in the fittings. Once greased the creeking noise stopped. People if you're car has grease fittings anywhere on it....put grease in 'em.

    I had to replace some suspension parts on my charger and forgot the bushings. My wife said it was making a clunking noise and I thought I forgot to tighten the bolts in the caliper bracket. I must have taken it off twice and googled it a ton when I hit on your video. I'm literally laying under the car now and I can see the play in the bushing. I should have seen this video an hour ago and saved myself time and aggravation. Great job on the video. Very helpful.

I checked it out and found it was the exact video I needed. Maybe you should also title this link as "Clunking" as others are out there may be looking/searching for answers to a Clunking Noise.

    To remove the link without a vice grip, just put a box end on the nut and put your impact on hex on the tip of the threaded part. Just remember to put your impact on tighten because you are effectively spinning from the reverse side.

    Great Video! Just today, I went to the passenger side of the sway bar bushing, and had to re thread the hole due to almost stripping. 1 year ago I replaced the sway bar bushing's on the front sway bar, and I got the drivers side sway bar bolts in fine, but the passenger side needed a lot of pressure to hold it all together, and screw in the bolts that hold it without stripping, or cross threading them. I cross threaded the upper bolt, could only get it halfway in, and left it. 1 year later, today I looked at it again, and couldn't leave it like that. So I went under there, and took out both bolts, used a ratchet to get them in with out cross threading them, and used my channel locks to hold it together long enough for me to thread the lower one in. Lining the bracket against the frame, and lining up the outer bracket , and then I tightened one bolt a little, then the other, and back and forth slightly so they tightened evenly. Glad I got it right! Had been in the back of my mind for a year.

    @elmarito007 Před 2 lety +1

    Small tip: the bushing covers you can just unbolt the bottom part and move it out of the way because that thing is as tick and strong as a a tuna can lid. It will prevent you from going under the car , more specifically under the rotor.

  • @briand4000
    @briand4000 Před 3 lety +1

    Just fixed an annoying clunk when quickly turning at low speeds in our 2012 Charger. There are steel rings or guards on the sway bars that center the bar between the rubber bushing mounts. They were too far apart, causing these guard rings (on the right side in my case) to hit the steel bushing mount when the car is side loaded. Took a drift punch and hammer, knocked it inboard a bit and reinstalled the new bushings. No more clunk! Check these steel guard retainer rings (whatever they're called...) if they're crushing the bushings and/or hitting the mounts.

      Hopefully it fixes your car 👍make sure to measure your sway bar to order the correct bushings.

    Dope vid! I have a 18 Charger R/T, 30k miles. It feels like I have excessive body roll and it doesn’t handle bumps well at all. I drove another Charger, same trim and mileage and it drove WAY better. I’m lost.... great video again bro!

      Inspect your sway bar links/bushings/shocks

      What was wrong with your car? I have a 2010 r/t and having issues when I go over a pot hole. The rear of the car kind of jolts to the right fast. It’s currently at the shop now and they are not sure what’s causing it but said that the bushings are shredded and needs to be replaced so it mag be the cause. Shocks and springs are fine they said.

    Good video bro. And be careful with the impact because the bolts welded to the frame will break easily👍🏾 I have an 07 charger myself .. good job!!
