You sir are an absolute legend. 6 months with this noise and even took it to a garage where 3 mechanics couldn't figure it out. My cars a pleasure to drive again. Thank you and sending you a virtual beer 🍺

I literally replaced everything on my front end. Then I watched this, fixed the clunk in minutes! Thanks!

You, sir, are an absolute legend. I came here, saw your video, went to my garage at 11 PM, tightened that sucker and cannot believe the problem is GONE!

AMAZING! I’m an industrial mechanic with 35 yrs experience. This noise was killing me!! Just had my alignment done on my 2015 Tacoma. Everything was great for about a week. Then the bang and cracking sound started. I have a 2WD, so I couldn’t be the front CV. You nailed it bro!!! I just subscribed and will be checking out the rest of your content. Thx!!

A couple days after I got my car aligned I started to hear this clunking/bang noise when breaking to make a full stop or when taking off at a light or stop. thank you for these videos im gonna check my lower control arm bolts.

The problem is many mechanics do not torque bolts. They do things by feel which in the long run can lead to problems like this or worse. I think it should be required to torque every part to specs like it should be just like the factory did it.

That sound on my 05 pre runner was infuriating, especially after changing out upper and lower ball joints and inner and outer tie rods. Passenger side nut was pretty loose( I was able to turn about 4 turns) driver side was only 2 turns. Noise is gone. Thanks for sharing.

My mechanic said it was nothing but i didn't hear the noise after the car was at the shop until 8 months later now im just gonna do this 😂

Starting to think this is why my car is vibrating at speeds after have everything up front replaced and tires roadforced. I'm thinking 5hey didn't torque or didn't torque my bolts correctly. So I will be checking all bolts on my new suspension parts.

So i tried tightening it but it doesn’t go no where yet it makes the horrible noise. Send help lol

I recently had my sway bar, a arm, and inner and outer tie rods changed and today I had an alignment and a couple hours after I left this issue started happening. Thank God for you and youtube! Now I can just do it myself instead of worrying more than I already have.

WOW - This was an easy fix. My husband was going insane trying to figure this "thunk" out and where it was coming from exactly. One side was loose and "thunk" is gone. THANKS so much - Cheers!

Haven't tried this yet but it's the exact problem I've been dealing with for a couple of years. Been searching for a solution since the start. Thank you.

This was spot on. I had a lot of front suspension just done to my Chevy Malibu basically everything. I had noise that I didn't have when I took my car in for the repairs. Driver side kept hearing this clunk sound when breaking and pulling off. So I decide to look for myself and found the driver side control arm bolt loose and the passenger side about 1/4 of the way out. I tighten all my nut and bolts and that fixed that issue. People don't trust that the person working on you car will care enough to take pride and do the job correct. Also go back if you can and check everything yourself. Thanks for this tip it really helped. 👍👍💪

Hey buddy, you helped a lot. I had my truck leveled six months ago that clacking started. I tighten all 4 took it away. Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much!

I was having this exact issue and it’s fixed now thanks to you. Legend. 🎉

Thanks for this video was literally going to replace more parts . Easy fix can’t thank you enough 🙏 .

Literally just watched a mechanic on youtube saying it was e brake line or suspension. This is it! Awesome vid!

It pretty much feels like god told you to make this video just for me… what a timing, thanks man🙏
