Clunking when driving slow and on rough road

Topic starter

Got a Kia Rondo 2011 and Ive changed the lower control arm, the sway bar bushings and sway bar links, and today changed the suspension and shocks. But still when i go on rough roads it clunks and when full lock turning it makes squeaking. I did drop little bit the subframe to have more access to the sway bar bushing but i didnt drop it completely and i did torque everything to specs. So i dont know what else it can be 


what does "changed the suspension " mean? Suspension is made of many parts


Complete quick strut assembly front

was the vehicle at normal ride height when you tightened the suspension bolts?


Can you explain a little more? Its the quick strut assembly for the front. So i unbolted the sway bar link then unbolted the strut knuckle bolt and then last the top bolts on the suspension


squeaking can also come from worn balljoints, or bearings.
Clunking could also be worn CV joints, or motor/tranny mounts.
All these things can be tested. Scotty has videos.


when you install bushings bolts (control arms, struts, sway bars etc.) , do not tighten them. Just get enough threads so it doesn't come out. Then you need to lower the vehicle so the wheels are support the full weight of the vehicle. Then torque the fasteners. Otherwise you stress the bushings. They will squeak and fail prematurely.
