Noise!

[arthur]

Well i have a noise in my front suspension, but it seems like nothing is wrong!! every time i go in a bump i hear a clack coming form the right of the car. ive cheked everything and nothing is broken or anything. the only thing i noticed is that the drvishafts have a litle play, but thats it. could that be the reason for the noise??

Probably a loose nut on the right strut.

Two other things to check:

1. Bad tie rod end
2. Cracked control arm bushing

im sorry but im noob, how do i check this things??

check the boots for grease, make sure the rubber boot isn't cracked, with the tie rod just move it around and make sure it's not super loose. It should move side to side but if its flopping around or making that creaking noise it's probably bad. The control arm bushing is kind of hard to see without taking the suspension apart, just lay under there with a flash light and check the boot, and check the bushings on the inside part where it bolts to the chassis/subframe. Try to wiggle it make sure there is no play in the lower control arm.
