Small "pop" or "clunk" noise in drivers side front suspension...DRIVING ME NUTS!

Guess it's time for coilovers

Ya true I was just looking at the rear coils and thinking the same thing. I had the strut mount replaced and the control arm bushing to get rid of what I think patrickd_21 is mentioning. Both had some play in my situation. I could reproduce the sound by hitting small speed bumps faster than normal, or by going up a driveway with that tiny concrete raiser on it fast. Drove me nuts too.. and unless one can do the strut mounts oneself, it might be worth upgrading while fixing.

I had the same exact issue with my 2004 Aveo, going up and coming down the driveway...believe it or not, when it was all said and done it was a loose bolt. I had the car up on the lift when the tires weres being rotated and asked them to take a large pry bar to see if they could find it. Unfortunately I failed to ask which bolt was loose but assumed it was the sway bar.....haven't heard the clunbk since
