Hello, my buddy has a 2010 impreza hatch that clunks when going over bumps and when turning. I do not know what it could be, and I do not know what I should tell him about this clunking issue. Please help.
Edit - My buddy forgot to tell me that the clunk comes from all 4 wheels when going over bumps and when steering. The car clunks even when stationary, both front and back. But there was no clunk when he turned the wheel and the car was still stationary. (suspension is as stiff as can be)
At that age it is due for stabilizer bar links. But there are 10 other things it could be too. You will have to get under it and check it out. See if anything is broken or loose. In particular see if the stabilizer bar links are loose or the rubber boots are split.
But probably you’ll have to take it to an experienced suspension shop that can get it on a lift to check it out.
All the best! -
Ok interesting update. Probably gonna be a hands-on diagnosis. Doubt you will find the answer on the Internet....

The back is clunking when turning the steering wheel while stationary?
