Bang/clunk!!!
Every once in awhile when I make a slow left turn I will hear a loud bang/clunk type noise. It sounds like it is right behind and to the drivers side of me.
I have no drivablitiy issues. I'm thinking feul tank? I do sometimes have problems filling my tank...maybe a loose float or something.
Any ideas...??????????

You know .... I wouldn't know how to check the torque on my toe nails.
Andy did the sway bar install so I will have him check it next time I see him.
Sounds closer to the to me than the rear sway bar....
Thanks

In any event, Andy can check all this stuff in short order.

People have complained about this noise most times it happens when going up a driveway. Sometimes the sheet metal between the seat and the fuel tank buckles. Try driving with your hand on that panel -pass. side. walt
