Clunks from the front

Post by Daiced »

So i've noticed a clunk sound from the front of my car when i'm driving on bumpy road and such. I have been told that it's the suspension, but also found out that it might be the anti roll bar link or something of that nature. So how do i know which one it is and how would i solve it?

I have a Peugoet 206 1,6 2005 if that helps and btw i think that the sound is coming from the right hand side of the front.

A/R drop links aren't expensive .. so swap both. S*ds law says if you change one the other will go.

Check also for worn balljoints on the lower arms and check as best you can the main lower arm mounting bushes as these crack and split over time.

The only other item could be the a/r bar mounting bushes ..
