DB9 Front Clunk Noise going over bumps?
Hello everyone,
My '05 DB9 has developed a strange clunking noise coming from my front wheel arch area while going over bumps. Has anyone had / fixed this before? Very interested in your experiences. Thanks!

Car is getting old, being your in BC sure you store it for the winter, so a lot of stationary periods of no movement( she starts to sag! ...I've done it all from all rack parts, upper/lower arms, bushings on sway bar, links, dampers, engine mounts....even spacers for airbag module.
Is the noise from the front most floor area, or centered heard travelling up the steering wheel..if it's in the floor area can't really help, but if in the steering it's most commonly related to the airbag not having spacers on the bolts for early models (pre 09MY)..
Say your not sure o9f the location..try this, drive on a straight bumpy road you hear the noise of concern, hold the drivers airbag as if your were trying to avoid it from moving up/down..does the noise go away? If it does..airbag spacers for bolts are needed(5$ fix)..if not..dealer or indie shop visit would be required.
Noises like this would have to be diagnosed in mainly person with chassis ears..sry I can't be of more help than this..

Not at all, I will try to isolate the noise further when I get a chance. Thank you for the help!

As for the noises, they are coming from where my feet are (and I can feel a little vibration as well). Do you think there is a more economical way to remedy this problem? Maybe I could have the bushings checked first? Thanks again
