Creeking and clanking noise

[SonicBRO]

Does anyone hear a clunking noise getting out of their vehicle or when shaking the car back and forth? Ive try to find the source of the problem, and it sounds like its coming from the rear driver's side. I looked ar the shock bolts everything seems tight, does anyone have an idea or have experienced the same issue?

Not even a month has passed and the rattling is back. So frustrated with my sonic. It goes away when I apply the brakes. Into the shop it goes again!

Got this going on too... Started as a slight noise that I heard every now and then. Now its continual I hear it at slow speeds and sometimes at high speeds. Depending on the kind of bump its a flutter or clank or creak or a pop. All coming from the passenger side. What is this... I'm supposed to be on the track this weekend and it's freaking me out.

My clunk sounds exactly like this as well. I suspect its the end links so I ordered a set of MOOG end links. Will have them installed this weekend. Hopefully that solves the issue.

Which endlinks did you order? I found a few threads on the topic but there was no definitive answer in any of them and if there was I didnt take the time to read through them all.

I have a hate hate relationship with the front end of Chevy vehicles. I don't know how many thousands of dollars I have put into replacing parts through dealers on the front end of all my Chevy's. If I can replace parts with better ones so I dont have to do it all again that would be awesome.

Thanks

I ordered 2 sets of these:

My lower endlink fitting looks rusted pretty good. Replaced them with the Moog ones and completely solved my creek/clunk. Very well worth the 45$ for the pair.

I have a clicking noise that only happens after a lot of continuous driving. It's not a clank or a creek. It's just clicking. BUT I have the billet end links (and both sway bars). Any idea what it could be?

Checking in with front passenger side clanking while driving over any surface imperfection. Even tar strips/cracks. It is a simple metal to metal noise, gets bad when pulling into a driveway entrance. Ofc happens now that I'm just out of warranty. Nothing looks bad when inspecting throuh the wheel well, will try to jack the car up tonight. Even pushing on the fender a little makes the noise, but driving over smooth road at any speed is fine.

Is this the vertical rod attached to the strut assembly? Only possible defect I noticed was the rubber things were empty and soft, and looked like they should be full or grease, or am I wrong?

Sound like my car. Textbook swaybar noise. I replaced mine with the link below, or your can use the ones Beastlick linked above. Way way better than stock.

Yes, its the end link. The stock ones just have a rubber boot with no way to grease them. The MOOG ones are steel, higher quality fittings, can install with 2 wrenches instead of the stupid torque bit(my knuckles loved undoing the rusty lower) and have a grease zerk on both ends. Highly recommend replacing with these if you have clunking noise over bumps, especially at low speeds.

K, now I know what to order. The passenger one was loose just barely enough to hear/feel it when yanked on. Nut on the bottom is impact tight. Thanks

I sort of have the same problem now when I hit a harsh bump or crack the front end makes a rattling and metal to metal noise and I looked at everything and all seems to be fine. It's pretty loud and I think I'll take the front bumper off someday to see if it's anything in there.
