Front suspension rattle over bumps?

On my 2014 G63 sometimes I get a front suspension rattle while driving and or cornering. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks,

I always have that feeling that my suspension is loose from the rest of the body (maybe makes given it is on the frame) on my 2010 G55

Bringing this old thread up from the past. My driver’s side suspension makes a =clunking sound when I go over bumps, pot holes, RR Track Crossings, etc… I experienced this almost exactly a year ago and thought it was the fox shocks 2.0. I replaced that shock (and all the others at that time) thinking it was a bad shock with a brand new set of Fox Shock 2.0. The noise and loose feeling that you could pick up in the steering wheel went away, but it has come back now. At first I thought the shock has gone bad, but that is very unlikely.

Has anyone else experienced this before regardless of the type of shocks that are on their G Wagon? If so, what was the cause/problem and how did you fix it?

I need to get under it and see if anything is loose and tighten it up, maybe that is my solution…

You need to get under and take a look. Low chance that anything is loose, but good to check anyway. The rubber bushings also probably aren't the issue either, but good to check if any of the rubber has collapsed.

If the clunking happens during any steering input, it's most likely the front track bar or the steering bar (one of the ball joints).

If it is only when driving straight (generally), possible it can be the sway bar bushings or mounting bushings.

There is a chance it is the shock. If you have the remote reservoirs, they may need to be recharged with nitrogen, or they may have other issues.
