William,
Sounds like hat the DAKSY was doing about 3 weeks ago.. Clicking/ Popping/
Clunky kinda noise on bumps & hard right turns. The lower left front shock
absorber retainer bolt had backed ALL THE WAY OUT! The bottom of the shock
was sitting on the Lower control arm. I hadda line it back up, Apply Loctite
to the threads (Superglue is almost the same thing...) and retorque the bolt
to 85 Lbs/Ft. (FSM Spec). Haven't had a problem since...HTH
