Lately while driving, I hear a horrible clunking noise while making right turns and going over bumps (ie. Entering or exiting a parking lot or making a right turn).

Struts were suspected as they were leaking, so they were replaced with KYB Strut Plus. The noise is still there and I'm at a loss as to what it is. Any help would be appreciated!

Is it a Speed3? Speeds are infamous for Swaybar endlick clunking.

if that fails you could always turn left over bumps

Also gonna go for the swaybar links being the culprit.

Check your sway bar and end links.

Sorry I forgot to mention that sway bar links were replaced with struts last week! That's why this has me puzzled

if that fails you could always turn left over bumps this is sounding like the best option lmao

Did you replace these parts yourself or have it done? I only ask because I want to make sure they were installed correctly and everything is tightened.

While moving very slowly(idle speed) turn the wheel left and right multiple times and see if you hear anyhing.

Hope its not the steering rack.

It was installed professionally by my mechanic. I noticed while maneuvering through a parking garage last night that when I turn my wheel it sounds very... Rusty/groaning. This seems to be a new noise though. The noise it makes is comparable to the noise you'll hear older brakes make if you slowly release the pedal

To update this thread: ended up taking the car to Jimmy. Control arms were bad, causing clunks while turning. Also fixed the rusty hinge noise while steering. Strut bearing was bad (on new struts nevertheless :( )
