there can be a slight clunking sound, but more then likely youll feel it more. does it get bouncy over there? as jn2 said, can you push it down easier and does it spring back as fast? try tightening all bolts having to do with your strut assembly and see if it goes away, could be a loose soemthing, also, make sure your lugs are tight...cause ive had wheel wobble before. If that is all good, then its pointing to a bad strut

also, no spring should blow your strut, your strut will blow if you repeatedly bottom it out, other then that its just normal wear and tear.

how many miles on the car? have you bottomed out the car? how hard are you going over bumps? are the roads really bad there - pot holes, lots of bumps, etc)???

end links should be a prob because she isnt lowered more then an inch or two, i have NEVER seen a stockish height cobalt have endlink problems, only ones lowered pretty far...and then its not in this type of situation, its when turning, when your endlinks get tqd and worked around...


endlinks not the issue here...

i bet its either a loose somethign moving around or a bad strut..sway bar wouldnt do this...it really doesnt move much if at all during a speedbump manuever, it only will really get working when you compress one side and not the other...it will move a lil on speed bumps but it will move evenly on both sides..and rotate in the mounts. and this wouldnt create a clunk...
