• The owner reported hearing a clunking noise from the front end when driving over speed bumps or turning, and the clunk could also be felt through the steering wheel.
• A test drive confirmed the concern.
• Upon inspection, the driver-side outer tie rod was found to be loose, and the front camber was out of specification.
• All steering and suspension components were checked, and necessary nuts and bolts, including shock mount hardware, were tightened.
• The vehicle was aligned multiple times to correct the camber and then test driven to ensure the noise was no longer present.

• The owner reported hearing a clunking noise when driving over speed bumps, coming from the front left side of the vehicle.
• The vehicle had previously been serviced for a similar issue in the rear, where loose bolts were found and corrected, but the noise later returned in the front.
• Upon inspection, the camber adjusters and alignment pins on both lower control arms were replaced and the vehicle was aligned; however, the noise persisted.
• The technician noted that the issue may be related to the struts, which are known to produce noise at low speeds over large bumps, or slight play in the intermediate steering shaft, and recommended further evaluation by the dealer.

Visit 3: March 2-17, 2026

• The owner reported that when driving slowly over speed bumps or rough pavement, a clunking noise came from the left front corner of the vehicle.
• The vehicle was test-driven with the owner to verify the concern.
• During inspection, the noise was found to originate from the front driver-side CV axle. The retainer clip was not holding the axle securely, which caused the clunking sound.
• The left side CV axle (front wheel drive shaft) was replaced, and the vehicle was driven again afterward to confirm that the noise was gone.
