Default What is this I'm hearing?

I have not had a chance to tear into the front suspension of my X since I bought her a couple of months ago.

Since day one, I hear this clacking from the front end when going over the slightest break in pavement. The noise can also be duplicated by turning the steering wheel quickly from side to side at low speed. Jerk the wheel left = clack, jerk the wheel right = clack. It seems like something is broken or very loose. Lots of racket going on up there......multiple problems perhaps?

Check your front sway bar. Normally the bushings get really worn down (especially on the sports) and then they make a terrible metal on metal clang whenever the sway bar starts to do its job.

Default Lower control arm

I had the same thing with the lower control arm on the passenger side. Changed it out and now it doesn't do that anymore.
