Default Re: Front End Clunk...Torsion Bar seems...

You won't believe me, until you try this.

If it clunks in the front end while stopped (or barely moving), and turning the wheels left and right. It is the skid plate.

While parked, have someone turn the wheels while you put your hand on the plate. You'll really feel the plate thumping. The noise will be worse with the brakes applied. This is because it is putting a strain on the frame, and you will see the a-frame bushings actually streatch.

Take the plate off and it will disappear. Remedy ---put rubber washers on the mounting bolts, between the plate and frame.
