Whats the noise in the front!

ok i finally did a front end rebuild this weekend on my firebird. i noticed a clunk/popping noise coming from the passenger side suspension. it does it every once in awhile when i accelerate hard. it does it when i step on the brakes or if i hit a bump or something on the road. is it my a-arm? did i forget to tighten something? let me know thanks

I had this proble before in my Z, on mine it turned out to be loose K-member bolts on the passenger side. Went in and tighend em back up and the sound was gone.

On yours I would make sure the swaybar endlinks havent broken. That seems to be a common problem on lots of cars, and most people dont see the broken endlink cause it "looks" like it fine.

Just get back under the car and start checking bolts with a wrench. Use a pry bar to check swaybars, control arms and what not. Just pry on it a little to see if it starts moving around. Hope that helps.
