great amount of helpful info on that link, Im most definitely going to try what he did. It might be that, because I just replaced my end links and it didn't really do anything.

thanks for the link.

Remove that tire and shake it around, if your able to replicate the sound what most likely occurred is that the nut on the inside that holds the valve stem in place came loose and is now moving around (non-oem valve). I had the same issue twice in the past year. I had the same symptoms, metal clunking when accelerating from a stop, coming to a stop, going over speed bumps, and when reversing as well. I basically heard the clunking anytime that the rim would spin at a slow rate.

So in order to re tighten that valve stem you have to remove the tire im guessing? Been looking on s2ki about that and haven't really found anything.

Yup you would have to remove the tire to re-tighten the valve stem. In my scenario I had firestone install my tires, and then when I realized what occurred I took it back to them, they removed the tire and re-tightened the valve stem for no cost.

Sound # 2

When I drive off I hear this metal like dragging sound coming from my driver side wheel, when i was doing my end links I didn't see anything unusual.

I'm sure you guys have experienced this at some point so I am just trying to get a second opinion.

Thanks!

Could be a sticky/frozen brake caliper..........
Jack the car up again and spin the wheel to see it it drags/makes noise.
