suspension noise
Sup guys,
I'm hearing a clunking noise while coming to a stop, not all the time but like if im doing like over 30 or so and i go to stop i'll hear a clunk just as the car stops,
Sometimes it happens upon take off as well, but no noises while driving over bumps really besides the normal creeking and interior bits squeaking.
I dont know what it is, i've looked onder the front of the car and nothing seems odd and i have tried to wiggle everything and it all seems tight.
What you guys think?
If i wanted to replace all front bushing for the front suspension what are they?
Ball joints
control arm
is there any others?
Riding on adjustable kyb and RSR springs if that helps, KYB's are on the stiffest setting.

Order a polyurethane suspension bushing kit. It should come with at least control arm bushings, sway bar bushings, end links, and probably a few random boots. I'd check to make sure the wheels are tight first. Then, with each side raised up one at a time, have a friend hold the brake pedal while you see if you can move the wheel. Kind of hard to do, but just give it a shot. If the caliper slides are worn, the wheel will move a little when you try to turn it. Other things it could be include loose shocks/struts (i.e. bolts not torqued), subframe bolt, or the aforementioned bushings. Ball joints aren't likely, but you can check them by lifting that wheel up by its control arm and prying the wheel up with a large pry bar, pipe, or 2x4. Have a buddy watch the ball joint to check for any play. If you can see it move at all, I'd replace it.
