Re: pot hole causes loud clank

Not sure what is causing your clank, but I've had a couple of 'clanks' in the past I can share.

- One time was a bent stabilizer bar link.

- Another was a worn CV joint.

- Another due to a failed wheel bearing that was spinning it's outer race, this causes the wheel to 'wobble' when hitting pot holes and hit other components.

If everything has been quiet it's probably not the wheel bearing (usually a constant noise) or the CV (you would usually hear clicking on slow sharp turns before it's loose enough to clank about).
