End links.
My car clunks real nice in the front end now when going over small bumps and accelerating. I think there is play in the endlinks.
Anyone ever replaced there in their driveway before?

You've got aftermarket springs on now right?
Just making sure... cause that's what my clunks were - broken springs.

Yup after market springs.
I'm sure it;s the endlinks. I thought maybe the motor mounts too. I know those are simple to replace right?

They're easy to replace. Make sure you jack up both sides at the same time. You'll need a wrench to hold the shaft from turning when you undo the nut. Takes longer to jack the car up and take off the wheels than it does to change the end links (if you use air tools).

Nice^
However, chances are I wouldn't be using air tools.
I think I'll just use lots of liquid wrench. :P

Also it's a good idea to jack both sides up the same amount before starting. Otherwise, there will be tension on the link through the sway bar.

Done it before it is easy IF you can get the nut off. The isn't any room for breaker bar, so either you have very strong arm or be creative.
