Default Strange Noise from right front shock

Hi there,

Since 2/3 days, i have a "clong" noise from the right front shock when i turn on the left, in fact when all the weight of the car goes to this right shock, like when turning.

It's Like if something was moving a bit and when i turn on the other side another "clong" like if this "part" returning to its original place.

Any idea what it could be ?

I have koni shocks on orignal springs.
thanks,

Mike

Sounds like the top mount cup. Underneath the suspension mountings (metal inner wing) is ths mount (rubber) and a little cup. These cups often break causing the noise you are describing. Check these and when doing it, replace the mounts with polyeurethene ones i.e. powerflex bushes or something. The shocks should be fine.
