BOUGHT CAR WITH 99K MILES. NOTED A CLUNK IN SUSPENSION. DECIDED TO FIX BY PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. TURNED OUT IT WAS A BROKEN BOLT THAT HOLDS THE CONTROL ARM INSIDE THE SUBFRAME WHICH IS NOT ACCESSIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR. STEERING WAS VERY OFF AND THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT IS CLEARLY A DEFECT FROM THE MANUFACTURER: THE FRONT SUBFRAME WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND THE INNER BOLT THAT HOLDS THE LONG HORIZONTAL CONTROL ARM BOLT WAS IMPROPERLY WELDED OR THE INNER SUB FRAME WAS MADE SO WATER COULD GET IN AND RUST SAID BOLD/WELD.
