Strange clunk over bumps (even little ones)

I have had my Zed for just over a week now and there is the most annoying clunking noise whenever I go over uneven ground or bumps.

 

It's a 2005 GT4 with the Nismo Kit.

 

Things I have checked:

Suspension

Front bumper

Undertray

Break discs / pads

Exhaust (The guy I bought it from told me it was this as he'd put a buddy... it is not)

No dead body in the boot

 

Sounds like it's coming from the front, low down, but I can't find it.

 

It sounds too heavy to be a loose body panel.

It happens whether I am breaking, accelerating or coasting.

It is not rhythmic, so not directly engine or wheel related.

 

Any suggestions? I'm at a loss. :bang:

Drop links potentially, very common issue. Just had mine sorted as it used to knock on uneven ground. All sorted now and silent.

I have heard this mentioned before. It's just a case of crossing things off the list I guess. Or take the car apart piece by piece until I find it or the car stops working (as by then it would be just a steering wheel and a seat! lol)

Could be a number of things mate causing your knock, however I would start with checking out the compression arm ball joint and bush. :thumbs:

Also have a look at the hub carrier lower ball joint. :thumbs:

 

If you click on my signature picture, you will find all the parts that you may require. :thumbs:
