A clunking noise from the front suspension over bumps is usually worn sway bar links, bushings, or control arm components. Here’s how to diagnose and whether it’s safe to drive.
If you're hearing a clunking noise from the front suspension of your Genesis G80 II when you go over bumps or potholes, you're not alone. It's a common complaint, and the good news is that it usually points to a worn suspension component rather than something catastrophic. As a mechanic, the first thing I'd do is put the car on a lift and inspect the front end for play or looseness. The G80's multi-link front suspension is robust, but bushings and links do wear over time, especially on heavier sedans.
