2002fourdoor is an unknown quantity at this point

Front end clunk - please watch video

2002 automatic 4-door
Front end clunk over bumps.
Couldn't find any loose suspension or steering parts but when I turn the axle shafts there is some free play and a clunk from the transmission. Is this normal?

Link to YouTube video attached.

Thanks!!!

Re: Front end clunk - please watch video

Your video is normal, that's just backlash in the gears. You can get that noise from almost any differential/trans.

Your suspension noise might be struts.

And see if the lower control arm front bushings are torn, they can let the arm down low enough to contact the subframe.
