ck struts and ball joins

Probably a broken spring or shocks.

Melinda, since it is under warranty and you have already taken it to the dealership there is record of the complaint and attempted repair. Take it back to them. As long as it is covered under the warranty it shouldn't cost you anything.

That sounds like a loose exhaust pipe or a metal cover plate underneath that has come loose.Check it out.

shocks my be going bad push up and down hard on top of the car over each front wheel and let go..it should not bounce up and down more than once. if it does shocks are bad.

The LX platform consists of the 300, charger and magnum.

They will all have front end noise. It's just a matter of time. This appears to be a poor design and should be recalled.

The front end should be replaced with energy suspension bushings and greasable ball joints.

The front end needs to be inspected, but here are the usual suspects. Most to least

1. Stabilizer bushings to frame. Rattle and bump sound. Not too expensive.
2. Tension struts - radius arm as some may say. Makes a poping noise and moans when driving and turning.
3. Stabilizer end links if loose to touch. Noise over bumps only.
4. Tie rods. Primarily outer. If you can turn them by hand they need changing. These make noise when braking and turning. Inner is more pronounced when steering. May cause road wander.
5. Upper and lower control arm bushings. Creak!
6. Ball Joints. These sound like an orchestra when going up a driveway. The most expensive fix on these cars. Up to 1800.00 dealer cost. They do not press out the old joints. They use a new knuckle.
7. Steering rack... another expensive fix. Moans and hisses.

its probably your sway bar end links, I had the same problem, I replaced both sides and the bushings and no more clunk noise

first off the alt. belt is too tight. loosen it. should go away. and if its a clunk in the frount end i would guess it is your struts or bushings or both.

Take a good look at your front struts. With your hood up, bounce your car and see if you have any movement of the top nut on the strut tower.
