Clunkining noise on the front right side...

[Bravest NY S4]

Any ides on what a "clunking" noise may be on the front right-side?...it comes and goes.
The wheel actually sounds like it's rubbing when fully turning... Control arms? CV? axle assembly? hub? bearing? Anybody??

I would first say a control arm is your hearing a "clunking."
Could also be your sway bar end bolts need to be tightened.

Did you install your suspension yourself? About the rubbing, how low are you?

The original owner had the suspn installed, not sure where though... I'd say the car is was lowered about 2' I haven't measured it yet.
Are those sway bar bolts, readily accessible from under the lift?

Yes, its right under the rotor. Should be like a 16 or18mm bolt. Just make sure its tight. I would first check your control arms though, most common when you hear clunking.

How many miles are on the car?

[Bravest NY S4]

little over 75k...

Definitely check the control arms. Hopefully this helps.

Ouch, sorry to hear about that. Any chance they are still in warranty? I believe its a 1 year period, but not sure if warranty is transferable.
