Horrible loud noise - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Have a 2010 Camaro SS with about 75k miles. Would could be the cause of when going over pot holes that aren’t even that bad or a bump on the road. Sometimes it makes an extremely loud clunk, sounds like a sledge hammer hitting the strut. I also have eibach lowering springs.

I’ve read that the eibach springs are one of the worst for wanting a smooth ride.
But anything else I could check or replace with something better to make it more smooth.
Struts and shocks still stock.

Any insight would be much appreciated thanks.

How much lower are your springs?

Has the car been lowered on the eibachs for a while with no issues, and this recently started happening? Or were the eibachs just installed?

Could be a strut is worn out and needs to be replaced.

When mine did that clunking crap, it ended up being a strut, passenger side, so I replaced both sides. Took care of my problem.
