Front Driverside Wheel Clunk - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys,

Wondering if you guys could help me locate this issue. From a stand still if I turn the steering right or left I get this clunk from the front Driverside wheel. I am currently running Tein Flex Z and 22mm Progess front sway bar. It didn't make this noise before, I've had these parts installed on for more or a less about a year.

Should I check the end links?

Thanks all!

Jack up that corner, grab the wheel and start pulling and pushing. See if you can spot anything. End links be a good place to start though.

Yeah I would definitely do what Tcoat said and check your endlinks, sounds like if you got a stiffer swaybar they may have given up or started to give up.

So I took off the wheel and checked the end link and it looked fine. But when I looked under the hood, it looks like my bushing for my front sway bar is bad.

Here's a picture:
