    Alright so it comes at no surprise I have a front end clunk/creak happening when turning and going over bumps at low speeds. I also took the wheel off and can grab the spindle upright and it has play pushing and pulling towards the car. As of now I'm thinking it's my upper control arms but any input is appreciated. Note also that I have coil overs in. I tried to capture the sound best as possible in these videos!

    Most likely upper control arms or tie rod end.However the steering would be sloppy.Also inspect lower control arms bushes at the subframe make sure there intact.

    steering seems fine and there wasnt any play in the tie rod end. I can tell the noise is coming from near the top of the strut, so I think ill just go ahead and order two new upper control arms. Thanks!
