After spending 2 wk-ends (on the suspension components & the shock tower), I finally took out all the front wheels.
Guess what...I found the source that made a nasty clunking noise. Well, a missing clip on the frt-LH/Driver side brake caliper is the real culprit that makes this nasty noise. (Duhhhh, I could have found it earlier--because, since I got this car back in Apr '05, everytimes when I touch the brake or when the car hit a small bump, a soft clunk noise just come up from the front LH/Driver side.)

Don't know if the clip just poped out by itself or the indy forgot to put it back.

Anyone has any idea how much would it cost?
Anyway, I guess I will have pay a $tealer near my hood for this clip. Or, anyone have a spare clip laying around for sell? Pls PM me.

Peace...

Haven't seen them pop off too easily, but they're not on there very firmly in the first place.

You mean the anti-rattle clip is gone?

Yeah, that'd do it.

Yes, the only clip - # 7 on ETK.
(Sorry, I can't paste the diagram.)

Well, at least, it calms me down a bit...b'cuz I thought either the bushing or one of those joints has gone south. (Though there is a cluck noise, the car is handling very smooth...no shimmy at all.)

Will see if I can get the part...
