My left front end make a loud pop sound when I make a hard right or a hard left and sometimes when I make a hard stop. It always pops on the left side the driver's side. Can anyone shed some light on this problem for me.
I have literally learned more from this video in five minutes than I have watching fifty hours of other suspension diagnostic videos ("uuhhh, what's this clunk-y noise??" - which you can't actually hear over the road noise - followed by twenty uncut minutes of shakily checking the easiest parts to get to with one hand).
Have this guy make more videos please!!

@@1AAuto i recently bought parts from you guys that were supposed get here alittle over a week but I got them in like 3 days!!!! Awesome
+Ebenezer Lembe's v6 challenger Thank you for your order! We'd love to hear about your experience. Here's a link to leave us a review on Google: goo.gl/i5JFNY
@@z1lla4 same, Im impressed
Yeah I agree, I thought this would be one of those videos so I didn’t click wished I had earlier. Basically summed up any potential issue of what to look for and actual real world noise sample from inside and outside the car. Very well done.
If a mechanic does not go on a thorough test drive and inspect your suspension on a lift then give you his findings , walk away and find another, I had a shop recently move my car literally 10 feet and tell me my engine mounts were bad, It actually was a bad strut mount that was only 8 months old, BEWARE !
This is by far the best guide of diagnosing ball joints. Straight to the point and thorough. Keep it up! Thankyou
+Kristen Connor Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
I like your tutoring clips. Very efficient. Direct to the point no nonsense story telling. And easy to understand and clear described. Well done boys.
You can clearly see that I recently picked up problems and started googling for advice and stumbled upon this channel 😄
This was super helpful, thank you for sharing👌👍🤙
This is the most comprehensive & concise explanation I've seen on the subject; thank you!
Thank you for the most concise and clear tutorial! You covered more in a few minutes than I’ve watched in 7 videos. I have a noise in my classic ‘70 mustang after changing out my front shocks. Now I know what else to check.
Yet another helpful and informative video, as always!
Proven reliable resource for diagnostics!
Keep up the good work! Thanks for guiding future do it yourselfers
+Matthew Zuber Thanks for the feedback!
Every part I've ordered from them comes super fast, packaged well, and is always right. I definitely recommend them. 👌
Sir, thank you! My mechanic could not find clunking issue in front of my car in four different visits. This video helped a lot for finding an issue. You should totally think something in a way of tip link here under your videos so people who appreciate and find these instructions very helpful can give you a tip for your knowledge, time and effort. Best regards.
Amazing that this video popped up on my recommendations list, i just started getting a popping/clunking noise on my 2003 ranger yesterday, and haven't searched ANYTHING or told anyone about it. CZcams can read my mind :o
Super helpful! Thanks 1AAuto! Y'all are awesome!
Best video about suspension ever.
FINALLY a video doing a comprehensive walkthrough on where and how to look for faults in the steering, and on a 4x4 like mine
Now I can isolate and hopefully diagnose my clunk I get when going full lock left or right.
Thanks so much 👍
+Rob P Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
what i learned after trying to find what's causing the noise in my 10 years old car: just replace all the suspension parts, it would be much easier. lower arm, absorber, absorber mount, sway bar links and bushings. and if you drive years with busted struts, change the cv axle too because they will definitely went bad.
That would cost as much as my 10 year old car.
@@JohnS-il1dr you seen car prices lately?
Thank You So Much For Taking Time Out Of What I'm Sure Your Busy Schedule To Make This Video For Us I Truly Do Appreciate It 🙃

Such an informative video! Thank you, so much knowledge gained in such a short time, and you didn't make the video unnecessarily long just straight to the point, great work
+Rik Powell Thanks for the feedback!
This was a helpful video. I have a 2012 Mustang that has a clunk when turning the steering wheel to the right or left. More so to the right. Hoping it can hold off a few months till I pay off my new tires, battery and alternator. 🤦🏻♀️
I have the same noises coming from the front end of my 2010 Lexus RX350. this helps a bunch, I hope it will not cost an arm and a leg to repair. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ great video.
Wow, what a treasure trove of information in a very short video. Thank you so much !
I found this very helpful. Well done- thank you!

+Mighty_Speed Thanks for checking us out!
It’s a Chrysler no surprise the ball joints are bad. I had a Jeep Patriot that needed ball joints every 25,000 miles driving on paved roads. Alot of times front suspension noise can also be front sway bar links. They can make a lot of noise and are pretty easy and cheap to change. They are even really cheap to have changed at the dealership.
Awesome video, short, consise and very effective ! Thankx!
Awesome, no-nonsense diagnosis tips.
These videos are so helpful. You guys helped me a lot. Hence I give you guys my business.

i thank you for sharing this I am searching for noises and by doing so i notice a bad lower control arm and also bearing hub I change both but still have a clunking noise when turning my wheels to both side and i think your video gave me 2 more ideas of where the noise could be coming from this is one of the best videos and by the way another one of your videos came pretty handy too and mi too learned more from this video that watching many others suspension diagnostic videos thank you very very much
+luis moral Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
TL;DR: Tire lug nuts were loose and making popping noise occasionally when driving.
I just want to thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart. My car kept making a popping noise and i couldn't figure out where it was coming from. It only made the noise when I would go over tiny bumps in the road. I had watched about an hour worth of videos before I found yours. I checked my tire and the lug nuts were loose. Once I tightened them, the noise went away. Thank you so much. You saved me a bunch of money.
+SpartanLink Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
"Liked" for that laugh but then there was a LOT of great tips too! LOL
This a an amazing video that I used as well! Very well done.
Thank you so much great video i have gotten under car and looked around but did not know what i was looking for thank you
Great video. I forwarded it to my mechanic friend who swore the clunking noise was just hard rubber tires. I don't think he can hear that well anymore. 😮
Very thorough and concise. Thank you
Thank you so much for such an informative video I learned a lot
Great video! Good information and well presented!
Best front knock video. Thanks bro.
Fantastic video, it helps you guys do great vids
Excellent video!
Wow best diagnostic display. Thank you
Excellent video thanks you showed how to identify and test many causes, very through appreciate it thanks.

I have rear end clunking noise. Haven't watched this yet. Hopefully you'll post a video on that. Thanks!
Very informative thanks. I have a 2001 f150. My pitman arm was garbage. Check for that as well.
+Brian Turner Thanks for the feedback!
After 4 years, my rattle is SOLVED! with 2018 Subaru Forester SJ5 2.0i model rattle at low rpm up hills I have finally found the solution.
It was the MAF sensor for me.
What finally narrowed down the cause was carefully adjusting the throttle input going up hill slowly. At certain points, the CVT engine would simulate a down-shift to compensate for the lower speed, and "shoud" increase RPM, but did not in my case. This caused the engine to run at too low RPM for the required output needed, causing piston knock during this scenario only.
I had also considered the Cat Converter, so I had replaced it just recently (despite only having 69k KM on it). Turned out to not be the issue.
Posting to the YT videos I had bookmarked for this issue to spread out the solution. Maybe others will also see it.
The other common suggestions are heat shield, and timing chain loose, or joint failing. All of these occur at different situations. Only the situation I experienced with low RPM and low speed going up hill produced the sound. Never at idle revving, never on flat roads and never at higher speeds.
Hope it helps others resolve the annoying rattles. The MAF sensor is a fairly inexpensive part luckily, you can get off-brand versions if you prefer. They look identical to the moulding of the OEM Subaru MAF sensor, so I suspect the normal maker markup on an identical item. Good luck to everyone!

Freaking awesome video. Struggling with my PT Cruisers clunking.
But you're gonna change the brakes too though right lol.. love you guys videos! Did you ever figure out what the actual noise was or just replaced everything you noted in the video?
Awesome tips. Thanks.
Love this video thanks for sharing
probably the BEST "how to" video I've seen

Best video i have found
thank you
Excellent information, thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for the great video. very helpful. Last week, my mechanic put in a new front pads and rotors, I have notice each time the brake is engaged, I can hear a "metal claking" (one time) from both side. Sounded like the pads is hitting the rotors, or caliper hitting the pads!? It's only been a few days not sure if that will go away soon. Any suggestions? thx
Did you ever figure it out?

Is it possible a periodic clunk/pop sound in front when I turn the wheels at very low speeds could be caused by a defective cv joint? I have already replaced all suspension parts including struts,ball joints,control arms, sway bars and tie rods. The boots on the outer look good. Thx.great video btw
Dapper Dan how's it going? My Name is Nate and I have a question for you. My 2010 Dodge Charger 3.5l SXT is making that same sound. It makes a loud pop sound on the driver side on my front suspension when I make a hard left or right turn at a slow speed or when I am making a hard stop it pops really loud. I too have replaced everything. So what did you do?
@@tossemup5210 im heading down the same road as you two with a 06 CRV. Its driving me crazy. I dont think it aould be CV becouse that would cause a wiggle and be more noticable. But if it was that please let me know lol
What a good video, great starting point of diagnosing your noises! Thank you from the bottom of my wallet!!
My 03 Town and Country began clunking from the front end whenever I turned a curve and would slightly bounce. I couldn't tell exactly where it was coming from UNTIL I saw something fly out from under it and I just barely got it Into a parking lot only to see the right front wheel bowed inwards. The strut mount had been broken for a while. I managed to get it rigged back up Into the hole and carefully limped the van home for repairs.
Very well done.
Thank you. This helped me alot
It did help. Thanks. From Nigeria
I have a 2006 buick Lucerne and I have a clunking noise in my right front suspension area when I turn the wheel driving at low speeds (example driving in a parking lot/leaving a parking spot, turning at a stop sign) or if I'm sitting still and turn the wheels. A friend thinks its a CV axle but I dont think it is, I replaced my driver side CV axle a year ago and that made a clicking noise, not a clunking sound. I replaced the outer tie rod, didn't fix it (which was bad anyways). Could it be a strut, lower control arm..?? Really could use some help.
EXCELLENT information!! Thanks.

Boy oh boy did you guys choose the most PERFECT car to showcase front end clunking! I've rebuilt the front ends on these types of cars a few times, and they will be good for a couple of years before another new rebuild is needed. On my 2011, the last front end clunk was the sway bar links... cheap ones were replaced with good name brand parts, and no more clunk (for a while). Thanks! ;-)
