I have a nice clunking/clicking noise coming from the front suspension of my cobra, i can feel it in my pedal
I just fixed a broken sway bar end link on the driver side and also replaced passenger side.

Car has
Bilsteins all around (installed in the fall 2013)
Brakes and rotors (installed in the fall 2013)
C/C plates (installed in the fall 2013)
lowering springs (came with car idk)


Also have this drive line issue, when RPM climbs the transmission VIOLENTLY shakes the whole car
I just put in a new aluminum drive shaft
The tranny was a built unit from thet45source 26spline input shaft the whole 9
RAM clutch and auminum fywheel
Any thoughts on this?

Okay update:
Jacked the car up in the air from the K-member, and turned the wheel back and forth by hand and heard the clicking clunk noise almost everytime i turned the wheel

Guessing my Tie rod end is done? or am i going to have to deal with replacing the whole rack?!

I havn't made any progress on my drivetrain issue

it clunks randomly,

Example... ill just be driving straight line and it'll clunk

Ill be tapping the brakes hard and it will clunk

when i had the front end up in the air with no load on suspension and motor running it would clunk when i turned the steering wheel back and forth...

It will clunk when the car is off and i exert downward force onto the fender to bounce the car up and down...

Mine clunks randomly too, I've pretty well determined it's the C/C plates. It's real common for the upper cup where the strut comes through to pop, they're noisy, just a fact of life. Idk if that's for sure your issue, but it is mine

This only started After the Sway Bar bar end link on the driver side erupted.. now ive got all sorts of crazy noises... Could a ball joint have gone bad?

i have the steeda X2 ball joints not even a year old...

Any one know of the brake making noises?
