Front end suspension issue, need help!

Hello all,

Here's the situation, randomly something in my front end (sounds like loose struts to me) will start making noise when I go over bumps. Primarily on the driver side but sometimes passenger as well. It will get worse and worse as I drive, then it will just go away and back to normal??? Took it into the dealer but since they couldn't hear anything at that time they think it was possibly a rock got caught in my suspension or something but it keeps coming back periodically.

Any thoughts what this may be or have any of you experienced something similar?

Thanks in advance!

Check and re-torque swaybar end links.

Very common issue with sway bar nuts coming loose. There's a TSB. Call your dealer and take it in for a quick fix.

Same problem zl1 2018. Mostly driver side not always this clubky noise. The dealer said that 2018 changed the system and is not this problem anymore...they adjusted everything but sometimes happens the same. Now has 500 miles with with 1,500 oil change after break in I will claim again. does anyone know if really 2018 ZL1 had some change or is a fake speech from dealer??
