Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find some subframe mounts. I think mine are bad, the front end makes a clunking noise going over bumps, everything looks good I just replaced the front struts and the subframe mounts look like they could need replacement. I'm not sure about this maybe it is the motormounts?? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Are you talking strut mounts? They should have been replaced when you did your struts. I believe that AutoZone is cheaper then Advance

No the mounts under the subframe, there are two on the back on each side and one on the front on each side., the strut mounts seemed to look good when I replaced the struts but I could be wrong.

Others have said if the sway bar bushings are bad the front end can make noise as well, the sway bars came in different dia. so make sure you get the proper bushings. I haven't gotten around to replacing mine but it's reported to be a relativly easy job.

Another place to look for a noise source is where the brake reaction rod on the lower control arm connects to the frame, they will sometimes break near or within the rubber mount.
