I have literally learned more from this video in five minutes than I have watching fifty hours of other suspension diagnostic videos ("uuhhh, what's this clunk-y noise??" - which you can't actually hear over the road noise - followed by twenty uncut minutes of shakily checking the easiest parts to get to with one hand). Have this guy make more videos please!!

This is by far the best guide of diagnosing ball joints. Straight to the point and thorough. Keep it up! Thankyou

If a mechanic does not go on a thorough test drive and inspect your suspension on a lift then give you his findings , walk away and find another, I had a shop recently move my car literally 10 feet and tell me my engine mounts were bad, It actually was a bad strut mount that was only 8 months old, BEWARE !

I like your tutoring clips. Very efficient. Direct to the point no nonsense story telling. And easy to understand and clear described. Well done boys.

Sir, thank you! My mechanic could not find clunking issue in front of my car in four different visits. This video helped a lot for finding an issue. You should totally think something in a way of tip link here under your videos so people who appreciate and find these instructions very helpful can give you a tip for your knowledge, time and effort. Best regards.

You can clearly see that I recently picked up problems and started googling for advice and stumbled upon this channel 😄 This was super helpful, thank you for sharing👌👍🤙

This is the most comprehensive & concise explanation I've seen on the subject; thank you!

Yet another helpful and informative video, as always! Proven reliable resource for diagnostics! Keep up the good work! Thanks for guiding future do it yourselfers

Every part I've ordered from them comes super fast, packaged well, and is always right. I definitely recommend them. 👌

Best video about suspension ever.

Thank you for the most concise and clear tutorial! You covered more in a few minutes than I’ve watched in 7 videos. I have a noise in my classic ‘70 mustang after changing out my front shocks. Now I know what else to check.

Amazing that this video popped up on my recommendations list, i just started getting a popping/clunking noise on my 2003 ranger yesterday, and haven't searched ANYTHING or told anyone about it. KZfaq can read my mind :o

FINALLY a video doing a comprehensive walkthrough on where and how to look for faults in the steering, and on a 4x4 like mine Now I can isolate and hopefully diagnose my clunk I get when going full lock left or right. Thanks so much 👍

Oh man this is like asmr. I could watch this all day.

Super helpful! Thanks 1AAuto! Y'all are awesome!

Such an informative video! Thank you, so much knowledge gained in such a short time, and you didn't make the video unnecessarily long just straight to the point, great work

Thank You So Much For Taking Time Out Of What I'm Sure Your Busy Schedule To Make This Video For Us I Truly Do Appreciate It 🙃

WOW!!! THANK YOU, FOR DEMONSTRATING, AND EXPLAINING, ALL OF THIS VERY HELPFUL, AND VITAL INFORMATION!!!

This was a helpful video. I have a 2012 Mustang that has a clunk when turning the steering wheel to the right or left. More so to the right. Hoping it can hold off a few months till I pay off my new tires, battery and alternator. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I have the same noises coming from the front end of my 2010 Lexus RX350. this helps a bunch, I hope it will not cost an arm and a leg to repair. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ great video.

1A Auto are the best in prices, in quality and, customer services. Now they got tutorials for fixing your vehicle!!! Nah get out of here. This guys rock it and exceeded my expectations way far. I totally recommended to all my friends 1A Auto!

I found this very helpful. Well done- thank you!

TL;DR: Tire lug nuts were loose and making popping noise occasionally when driving. I just want to thank you for this video from the bottom of my heart. My car kept making a popping noise and i couldn't figure out where it was coming from. It only made the noise when I would go over tiny bumps in the road. I had watched about an hour worth of videos before I found yours. I checked my tire and the lug nuts were loose. Once I tightened them, the noise went away. Thank you so much. You saved me a bunch of money.

Wow! This video taught me so much in so little time. I have worked on cars for a while and your knowledge is abundant! Thank you.

Wow, what a treasure trove of information in a very short video. Thank you so much !

Your techs are always well versed, annunciate clearly, & speak clearly & distinctly. Well done gentlemen !

Yep. I agree with everyone else. Very concise and to the point. You helped me diagnose my issue in 2mins . 🎉😂😊 The best mechanic on KZfaq !!

Very informative. Thanks for sharing everything in detail.

Awesome, no-nonsense diagnosis tips.

These videos are so helpful. You guys helped me a lot. Hence I give you guys my business.

Awesome video, short, consise and very effective ! Thankx!

Great video. I forwarded it to my mechanic friend who swore the clunking noise was just hard rubber tires. I don't think he can hear that well anymore. 😮

what i learned after trying to find what's causing the noise in my 10 years old car: just replace all the suspension parts, it would be much easier. lower arm, absorber, absorber mount, sway bar links and bushings. and if you drive years with busted struts, change the cv axle too because they will definitely went bad.

Thank you so much great video i have gotten under car and looked around but did not know what i was looking for thank you

Best front knock video. Thanks bro.

Wow best diagnostic display. Thank you

i thank you for sharing this I am searching for noises and by doing so i notice a bad lower control arm and also bearing hub I change both but still have a clunking noise when turning my wheels to both side and i think your video gave me 2 more ideas of where the noise could be coming from this is one of the best videos and by the way another one of your videos came pretty handy too and mi too learned more from this video that watching many others suspension diagnostic videos thank you very very much

Excellent video!

Thanks Len. Great and detailed information.

this is a properly clear explanation of so many possibilities.. thank you.

Great video. This video taught me so much in so little time.

Thank you so much for such an informative video I learned a lot

Best video about front suspension! Thanks!

This a an amazing video that I used as well! Very well done.

It’s a Chrysler no surprise the ball joints are bad. I had a Jeep Patriot that needed ball joints every 25,000 miles driving on paved roads. Alot of times front suspension noise can also be front sway bar links. They can make a lot of noise and are pretty easy and cheap to change. They are even really cheap to have changed at the dealership.

Great and informative video. Thank you!

Very thorough and concise. Thank you

Great video! Good information and well presented!

Amazing thank you! Super informational

Excellent video thanks you showed how to identify and test many causes, very through appreciate it thanks.

Thanks for posting.

Fantastic video, it helps you guys do great vids

After 4 years, my rattle is SOLVED! with 2018 Subaru Forester SJ5 2.0i model rattle at low rpm up hills I have finally found the solution. It was the MAF sensor for me. What finally narrowed down the cause was carefully adjusting the throttle input going up hill slowly. At certain points, the CVT engine would simulate a down-shift to compensate for the lower speed, and "shoud" increase RPM, but did not in my case. This caused the engine to run at too low RPM for the required output needed, causing piston knock during this scenario only. I had also considered the Cat Converter, so I had replaced it just recently (despite only having 69k KM on it). Turned out to not be the issue. Posting to the YT videos I had bookmarked for this issue to spread out the solution. Maybe others will also see it. The other common suggestions are heat shield, and timing chain loose, or joint failing. All of these occur at different situations. Only the situation I experienced with low RPM and low speed going up hill produced the sound. Never at idle revving, never on flat roads and never at higher speeds. Hope it helps others resolve the annoying rattles. The MAF sensor is a fairly inexpensive part luckily, you can get off-brand versions if you prefer. They look identical to the moulding of the OEM Subaru MAF sensor, so I suspect the normal maker markup on an identical item. Good luck to everyone!

You guys keep it simple. Awesome help..just changed my lower control arms ,heard clunking,

Awesome demo. 👍👍

Very useful guide video, thanks!

Love this video thanks for sharing

Excellent information, thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You taught me more about cars in 5min then I already knew😂

How can people thumbs down free learning? I know personally these so called “mechanics” around here need to watch these.

I have rear end clunking noise. Haven't watched this yet. Hopefully you'll post a video on that. Thanks!

VERY WELL MADE VIDEO AND DESCRIPTION

Best video i have found thank you

Best video on front end noise ... Subscribed

Very well done.

Very informative thanks. I have a 2001 f150. My pitman arm was garbage. Check for that as well.

Thank You, this was a great help.

Thank you. This helped me alot

Excellent video

Wow thanks dude!

Very helpful thank you so much

Very comprehensive. Thank you!

probably the BEST "how to" video I've seen

"Liked" for that laugh but then there was a LOT of great tips too! LOL

I have a 2006 buick Lucerne and I have a clunking noise in my right front suspension area when I turn the wheel driving at low speeds (example driving in a parking lot/leaving a parking spot, turning at a stop sign) or if I'm sitting still and turn the wheels. A friend thinks its a CV axle but I dont think it is, I replaced my driver side CV axle a year ago and that made a clicking noise, not a clunking sound. I replaced the outer tie rod, didn't fix it (which was bad anyways). Could it be a strut, lower control arm..?? Really could use some help.

But you're gonna change the brakes too though right lol.. love you guys videos! Did you ever figure out what the actual noise was or just replaced everything you noted in the video?

Great video learned a lot.

amazing, thank you!
