OK perfect thanks! Ball joint still has play so I think ill replace that but will spray it with WD until it has the appointment, ill see if they can give it a shot thank you very much!

Also! The clunks while turning never seem to happen while stationary? New CV Axles both sides too

Great videos thank you! For the ball joint noise, I definitely had that metal scrape-like noise on my previous ball joints but not on these yet. As for the sway, I don't seem to ever get the clunk when both wheels go over a bump or in any potholes or bumpy roads, just seems to be in more...

Ok another quick update, was driving yesterday and hit a speed bump, it was a half speed bump however so only my passenger side went over them. Everyone i went over I got the clunk, this time on the passenger side, then while turning just while regular driving after that on both sides, turning...

I should also clarify that the loud pop was only on the driver side (after the endlinks at least) and that's where they found the ball joint with play. Whereas the popping / clicks driving was the side of the bent bracket hitting that bolt over bumps and such. I drove it the past few days and...

I havn't experienced that on the Matrix so much just be a camry thing 🤷‍♂️

And if the clunk persists I will get the shop to do the sway bushings like @Kurtatron suggested! hopefully this is the end to this saga as I had the chassis ears on the endlink, albeit not the sway bar but they are attached lol, regardless when I got the noise on the ears on the ball joints the...

OK big update on the thread, just want to say thank you so much to anyone who has given ideas. So on Friday, it was at the shop for a diag and they came back to me with a ball joint with play, making the pop and spring bind, making the metal noise. So while the new endlinks that lasted two...

Little update on the thread here, replaced the links, which had torn rubber only 2 weeks after install hmmm. Regardless the noise going on my driveway is still there although its more of a pop noise now and will happen while driving too, sometimes randomly sometimes hitting a small bump or...

Ok turns out it was another set of bad end links! Will try to look for OEM ones lol, thanks for the help!

Oh sorry I thought I mentioned it, just replaced both struts and the new ones had upper mounts.

Great! Thank you, will try this tomorrow and update the tread!

The shop stated they checked them out and it was all good and while i don’t usually have any vibrations now that it is summer i did notice that when i turn my AC on i get vibrations for a little bit until it heats up or rather cools down. Is there a good way for me to check the mounts myself? I...

We initially wanted to however, the bolts for the brackets holding on the bushings for the sway bar were siezed, would have had to drop the sub-frame to drill them out, or at least that is what the mechanic told me. After doingthe links the noise was lessoned to only happen on my driveway where...

My current leading theory is it is something with the sub-frame as I have felt the clunk both under my feet on the drivers side, in the middle and far off to the right on the passenger side. However I am not a mechanic I am just learning as I go. Thanks for any help!

Title says it all really but I will provide more info. Link to video! Car (2009 Toyota Matrix) recently has had most of the front end replaced lol. Subframe, control arms, ball joints, struts, axles, rack and pinion, wheel bearings, sway end links. The only untouched items are the tie rod ends...
