Rep Power: 340

Here is the story.

Last night i went to rent a video and on a sidestreet the snow plows were ripping up the snow banks and putting them in the middle of the street so there was chunks of ice evrywhere...So I took it real slow going in there ,then i hit a piece of Ice and herd a big bang undrneath...

All of a sudden the ABS light came on..
After driving it a while when i get at a red light and turn the wheel there is a huge clunk comming from under the hood..

I asked my GF to get behind the wheel and turn the steering fron left to right..so with a flashlight i coudn't see anything so i popped the hood and the big clunking sound comes from the shock tower.. I can feel it when i put my hand on top of the strut tower when she turns the wheel..

Could it be the coil spring that broke guys??

Doubt it would be the spring.. those are pretty hard to break. Could be a ball joint, tie rod end or bushing would be my guess.

My guess.... torn rubber bushing on the suspension arm.

i had this type of noise on my car.........the coil spring had shifted a bit and they just moved it back to where it was supposed to be........problem solved
