Saw another post talking about a similar problem.

They then linked to

and talking about Moog End links.
Could this be the fix we are looking for?

What he said!! Replaced my wore out end link and BAM, no noise! Thanks for putting up a pic, I know a few people were wanting to see one.

Mine went at 27,000 miles. They replaced both but I only heard the noise on the driver's side.
Rough roads in the winters here and also a lot of roads freshly grated over the past year with all the repavements, etc.

So was it covered by the 3/36,000 warranty or was it part of the 5/100,000 powertrain? Because yours is a 2008. I have a 2007 with 54,000 miles.
I am almost tempted to just do it with the moogs considering I can do both sides for around $60-70 and the quality seems to be far superior to the stock ones.

Stryker,
Its like looking into a mirror! I have had my 06 since july of last year and it has the EXACT same problem. I have replaced-
Struts
strut mounts
sway bar end links
front transmission mount
Intermediate steering column
rotors
Last week a mechanic decided to take a crack at diagnosing it and adjust my steering rack as a result. He simply used a crow bar to adjust certain parts. For 24 hours it was flawless. Not a single clunk while driving, steering or hitting bumps. Next morning, pulling out of the driveway, it came back. That is the closest I have come to actually solving the problem. I wish I could nail this down.

Noise from front wheel
I also have a 2006 HHR LT 2.4.. I had the right front hub replaced as it was making a hummingnoise.. Warranty covered it... Not since warranty is out the left hub just went out.. it on my dime.. Chevrolet want almost $500.00 to fix it...
They also say it needs rotars turned, backing plate adjusted.. plus everything above they wanted almost $800.00....
