"Clunk" When Turning - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hershey · 07-24-2010, 09:43 PM

have seen service not tighten lugs enough . Also , see many types of TOYOTAs old and new that are missing wheel covers . Could be whoever serviced the cars didn't put the wheel covers on properly . I always check them right on their premises whenever tires are removed . May pee them off , but I don't care . Have found a few to be loose .

I had a wierd clunk a few years ago when the car was new, someone a bolt inside the transmission that holds my driver side halfshaft in place came loose. I took it in, and took a tech on a drive WITH me, so I could personally show him what it did (none of that "sorry we couldn't get it to do it again" BS) and they were able to figure it out from there.

that's my clunk story

nh3r717, sounds like its likely the swaybar endlink....tighten the nut at either end...

if you jack up the car and one is loose, itll clunk as it slides in the hole, but nothing will appear loose when the suspension sags all the way down...

you can see the top of the endlink attached to the left side of the strut in this picture....

Good call on the sway bar link, that was it. Thanks.
