Hi there, anybody can help me ?... I have a 2003 inokom matrix 1.6 A and have noticed a clunking sound from the front wheels when i go over an uneven surface..ie potholes.Funny thing is when i go straight over speed bumps its ok...no sound but diagonally one wheel then the other makes a clunking sound. I have asked the foremen of 3 garages to take a look...The first one changed the link rods, lower arms and 1 engine mount. Still no diff. the next 2 just tightened the undercarriage and still the same ...clunk clunk!
Something feels loose but nobody can find what.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks so much.

Arj

Thanks for the info,

I just sent it in today..thought i might get the tie-rod ends/ball joints changed. So far after allignment there's been no sound...but i need to drive more to be certain. will Check the mounting/bush if it reccurs.

thanks again

MAN IS THE BRAKE PADS. I HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. REASON: USE ORIGINAL ONE'S AND NOT GENERIC. IT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME BUT DIFFERS IN SIZE.
