'89 240DL Front end clunk

Volvodad24 · Feb 7th, 2014, 20:46

The front end clunks super loud at low speeds, stops when I brake or doing over 40mph. It's on the right side... Can someone give me some ideas as to what might this be?

Recall sorting this out by replacing a strut insert (damper) but could also be the lower ball joint or wishbone bushes. I guess broken front spring is a possibility but I've never seen that. Sorry to not have a specific idea.

Thank you for the input, mark. I'm just sort of in a situation where I only have six day till I move from Maui to Washington and I don't know If I can do the work in time to sell before I move or if I should ship car with me? Can car drive for a little while longer to get to shipping yard and back on the mainland to work on, or sell her here on Maui?
