Is the noise there whether the suspension is unloaded(up on a lift or jack stands), or loaded with the weight back on the wheels.

George has brought up a good method for noise tracing, but he's also brought up its biggest danger, you can be hurt very badly if your hand is in the wrong place.....absolute and clear communication with your helper is vital.

well il start and il try to make this short, we replaced the bushings and bearings when the car was in the air ( jack stands) i turned the wheel left to right no noise when the car was on the ground the noise came back i had all the front end parts checked by a dealer they said there fine. when i changed to the koni struts because one strut was leaking the noise came but when . but when the oem struts were on the car i had one clunk while turning the wheel left to right.i just cant figure out what the issue is . it could be possible that the road magnet springs are causing the issue. does anyone have issues with the goldline springs?

How do the spring isolation inserts look, those bits of rubber top and bottom that fit into the spring perches, they can fall apart and let you get "metal to metal" contact.

843 are you talking about the plastic piece that the spring sets on?

Yup those are the parts, they can break up over time.

There's a nut loose between the seat and the steering wheel.

Seriously, we've talked about this and I bet the issue is with how those Road Magnet springs are wound on the ends. They may not be seating properly.

Keep us all up to date and good luck solving!
