Hi, I have a 04 xj8 with 114k miles and bought as a project, anyone familiar with colorado springs knows how bad the roads are here and not the best for a jag. I noticed a clunking and rattling noise when I hit bumps, holes and anything else not smooth , I try to avoid the bigger potholes and slow down if I absolutely have to go thru the numerous smaller ones all over here. This sound seems to be just in the front end area. Thanks for the help in advance, Chris

You will need to get it on a lift and take the lower cover off to start pulling and inspecting the front suspension components. Check each of them individually for movement or looseness. I've been down this trail and have replaced many parts in my front suspension to find the clunk. It is a mechanical issue, so it can be solved. My advice to you is to look first at the front sway bar bushings and end links and upper A arms. You will find it. Feel free to contact me, I've been in your shoes. ![Icon Patriot](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_patriot.gif)
