Hey guys, need some assistance here with my 97 pathfinder. Basically when going over rough roads or turning in driveways or parking lots I would get a clunking noise.
Now this doesn’t always happen. I can fall in the biggest hole (not that I do this, I try to avoid damaging suspension at all times) and it would make the noise or not. Or go over continuous rough bumpy noise and wouldn’t make it. Then sometimes it would, especially when going around turns with bumps or going in driveways not so slow.
I have put new suspension components both front and back. But focusing on the front I have done the control arms, ball joints, tie rods, tie rod ends, struts, sway bar bushing, sway bar links. Also rack bushings. This was all replaced a year ago as it was time for replacement and I did have a clunking similar that went away after new suspension.
The only items not changed were strut springs, bearing, and mounts as they were perfectly fine with no damages.
I am having trouble locating the noise that occurs only on this side. And knowing the suspension is new makes it even harder.
Is something not tightened properly or something?
I replaced all items on my own.
Any help appreciated.
thanks!

It may be the strut mounts. However, too many things can clunk in a vehicle.
Watch Scotty’s video on finding the source of car noises. That should put you in the right direction.
Alternatively, load test the various suspension parts and check for any play.
