The wife's 1990 325ix is making a clunking noise & it's getting worse. Sounds like the rear shock mounts, but this noise is coming from the front. (I also checked the rear shock mounts, which I replaced a few years back & they still look great)
I put the car in the air & tried to look & move stuff to find something loose, but so far only 1 tie rod end seems to look suspect.
I've linked a video of my manipulating that tie rod end. https://photos.app.*******/W5i9xLfRw7p53Gen8
Questions:
would that tie rod end be the source of a clunking noise?
Based on that video, does it need replacing either way? (I assume I'd replace the pair?).
Can anyone point me to what I should be prying on to locate my issue?
Perhaps I need to pop the dust covers & see if the top strut nuts could be loose?
Any other advise appreciated.
Thanks & have a good weekend!

Maybe sway bar mounts are worn
