Hi guys. I need some help from you. The thing is I have a Evo IX 2006 USDM model, that is making a strange "bonk" sound from the chassis. The sound is coming from the front end of the car and the passenger side. The "bonk" is very frequent on low speed, maybe 1-2sec between but the sound reduces with increased speed.
I've checked the gearbox which seems to be ok so it not coming from there. Have you got any suggestions on what this could be?? The car is not acting strange at all when I drive it only this sound I'm worried about.

Bonk??????

Any way you could video tape it or something???

Dannievo

this is really strange i know.. it only comes sometimes when im driving straight forward sometimes when i'm turning, and sometimes when im in neutral and sometimes also when i hit the brakes... it´s like something is loose under the front of the car..

lol wtf is a "bonk" haha. Can you compare this "bonk" to another noise?

Are you sure it's not a clicking sound? Check underneath the car and see if a CV axle boot is ripped.

have you done any suspension work/mods in that area of the car lately?

Is it a mechanical sound or does it sound like it might be coming from your suspension?

tellin i can almost bet my pink on lol,its the lugs there not tight,had the same problem once i had my tires changed at the dealearship.They wasnt tighten,and i thought something was wrong with the suspension too

Dannievo

Well... i can tell u it´s not the lugs becouse that´s the first thing i checked.. it´s not a cvboot and yes im pretty sure this is comming from suspension i just don´t know where from and this noise is getting more agressive after driving

i haven´t done any suspension changes, but i did change my clutch about 3 months ago meenwhile this is a USA model the for the car isn´t in it´s 3 year warrenty becouse mitsubishi dealer here only service the euro spec cars and also they don´t know sh**

Dannievo

well i found the problem wich wasen´t a big exept finding it! underneath the car there are 2 strut bars under the downpipe those two bolts that hold up this little "strutbar" are completely damaged and the where loose that is the noise i heard

Thanks all for your help
