Hi,

I've got a 2004 VY Calais and recently I've been feeling a clunking/movement under the drivers side floor when turning and on rougher roads. I pulled the sway bar links and the top end was bent. I figured this would be due to a wheel alignment issue, so I got a wheel alignment done and straightened the links and put them back in to test if it was corrected. The sound continued though and they bent again. Any idea what would be causing this?

The sway bar bushings were done a while ago and they all look ok.

Thanks,
Neil

i got a wheel alignment, and the crapheads didnt even check the tie rod ends, so i had to change them and then get another alignment grrr

there should be no movement in your tie rods ends

That's what I was hoping would be the case after I straightened them and put them back on but they just bent again. So has to be something other than the wheel alignment.
