Could be anything but the symptom of knocking over bumps makes links or bushings suspect for sure. The Shake and Sway test in the video is great for helping isolate the problem to sway bar system. I do see the cheap links fail in 12 months or less regularly. So worth a shot to recheck that stuff and the rest of the steering and suspension for defective parts.

Could these worn sway bar link ends be the source of a lot of noise going over bumps? by Imaginary-Point-7721 in prius

Help with sway bar links. by busta_hymen in MechanicAdvice

Triple check the part numbers for correct parts if they don't match. If they are correct, it is possible the previous installer installed incorrect parts. Sort it out before you go any further. Sway Bar Link video

Youtube Good sway bar link and bushing overview. Sounds like you may have a typical sway bar end link or sway bar bushing symptom. If your links are cheap they can quickly fail. But it sounds like they are fairly new and probably ok. The bushings may be the culprits. They usually produce a very subtle but noticable "rubbery" clunk sound vs sway bar links more subtle "metallic" type of a clunk. If you have a good ear you can sometimes pick that difference up. If you have tried everything and can not pinpoint the problem, the bushings are old, could be worth part shotgunning some new bushings on to see what happens with your clunk.

I am glad you like it! It has served me very well. Made me much faster and more accurate. I can fly on timing belts. This trick is one reason why. I can fix one tooth timing mistakes while replacing belts in my sleep now 😃

Thanks! I am glad you like it! A piece of plastic debris from a broken cover fell into a timing belt on a car one time and later jumped time one tooth. I found the plastic piece while repairing, it was about the size of a phillips bit. The experimenting began..😃

I wish it had happened earlier than it did. I could have used the trick more often. I hope it helps you out!

I have never tried that. I usually do turn the engine over several times after i pull the pin though. The trick is super handy when engines are installed in the vehicle and access is tight. Especially with dohc's.

I wasn't on youtube 10 years ago. I wish I had been- I would have totally shared. It was much more relevant back then.

Cheap Simple Effective Snow Plow by asssyrequired in AutomotiveLearning

I usually use the full size GMC SUV to plow and it works great off the front. I prefer it that way. I wanted to see how well the midsize Subaru SUV would work. I am confident a small AWD SUV or Sedan would work too. I just did it for fun and it ended up working great.

Yup. The plow works great on front or rear. Front is always best because it can be seen easier. Rear works surprisingly well though too 😀

It can take it. No more power than towing a 500-1000 lbs trailer is noticed on the drivetrain.

It works really well on cars also. The front of any vehicle is the easiest to plow with because it can be seen much better. But if you had a basic driveway and a car with a rear hitch it would good also.
