really wierd clunk...
i have a clunk coming from the drivers side near the strut... the thing is it ONLY clunnks when it's raining out or the roads are really wet... i checked my swaybar bushings and they seemed ok but they are a bit worn...any one got any ideas what it could be and why it only clunks when it's wet out... am i trying to look to hard at something that is obvious???

It's rained and been wet out all year in the northeast!
I have no idea what a "wet only clunk" could be, it just doesn't make sense that moisture would cause the noise you hear. I think the only thing water would have an affect on is your brakes. On my Ranger, the back drums will grab when wet, but that simply does not apply to discs.

not with this junky weather... the only thing i can possibly think off is that when i put the srpings on my front struts that i didn't tighten the bolt enough and that it might have a little give or something... but it jsut doen'st make sense that it would only do it when it's wet out...

I think you made this thread just to boost your post count
On a serious note, I still get that clunk every once in a while, haven't really paid attention to see if it's only when it's wet out, got 174k on the clock, I've replaced shocks all the way around, checked all my bushings, so I don't know what it could be either...but now I'm getting a clunk, more of a click clack, in the back when I hit bumps or holes, so I've got bigger problems to worry about

I'm gonna go with the strut mount. Also check your front sway bar as it may be shifted either to the right or left. And check the endlinks to make sure one is not tightened more than the other.

Upper or Lower control arm bushings. The strut itself.. Is the spring sitting correct?

i know this might be far fetched..but i know you have aftermarket headers and Y .....
my car does the same thing..however not only when wet..but the headers are making contact with the frame and or the lower control arm mounting area .....i need to get that fixed really soon..but for shits and giggles and to be nice to be..check your tolerances around that area.
