Recently purchase a Pontiac vibe. When I looked at the car I was told by a mechanic that it needed a stabilizer link so I replaced both of them with Moog brand ones. The clunking sound still is there. I'm not sure where the could is actually coming from as I wear hearing adds but my Grandson said it;s down in the wheel area. I know the struts/shock absorber needs a boot and maybe is shot?? The vibe has 250,000 miles on it.
I should mention that sometimes the wheels will shimmy at the same time after hitting a bump.
Is there a good way to isolate the sound? I'd either have a shop do the work or if easy enough I would do it myself. 72 years old and counting.
I would appreciate you help.
Regards
