      Clunking sound on take off?

      Hey guys, earlier today my car started to make a clunking sound on take off, sound like a deep 'clunk, clunk' noise, does it a couple of times than stop once it picks up speed, it does not do it again under aceleration or deceleration, only when u first take off and only if you take off hard. its not the cv's since I inspected them. Seems to be in the right front wheel, but could be somewhere else, I'm thinking maybe front/rear suspension bushings, maybe the trowout bearing in the clutch? Any suggestions?

      I would look at the control arm bushings in particular rear one

      Yeah. Bushings, engine mounts, ball joints could all do this.

      Take off the wheels and check.

      I had this issue, turned out to be control arm bushing and ball joint on the driver side. A way of preventing things like this, would be taking turns slow and wide, not sharp and fast and no swerving or jerking around sudden with the wheel if it's not needed.
