Please see attached video of clunk in front right suspension area. Backing in and out of driveway, clearly shows this strangle clunk noise and cannot identify. Any tips/ideas?? Thank you!

There was some talk on another thread about the ball joints not being torqued to spec from factory and causing a similar noise.

Could the wheel weight be hitting the brake dust shield? Just another guess.

Found the culprit. Sway bar end link had worked itself just under torque and had a hair of play in it. All is quiet again

I had the same noise. It was part of the tpms sensor inside the tire broke off. It rides up then falls down and hits the top of the rim inside the tire. Remove that tire and roll it, I bet you hear that noise.

Mine was the sway bar end link had some play in it. Wouldn’t your tpms have triggered as well? Mine still is working properly and no noise when I took tire off
