Default 2002 AM DB7 vantage driver side clunking noise

I have a 2002 Db7 and every time I go over a bump I hear a clunking noise on the driver side front! It only has 8000 miles on it! If you have any advice please let me know thank you!

You need to get the front end on a ramp and check the upper and lower ball joints together with the anti roll bar links. Also check the shock absorber.

I had the same issue and had to replace the upper shock tower bushings. The older style could not support or handle the weight and would wear out quickly. The newer style bushings are a harder rubber and will not wear out as fast. You can do the job yourself if you are so inclined.
