I sprayed the front two struts with white lithium greese to get rid of the squeeking. Now I get clunking on turns as others have said. It is pretty annoying but I only notice it when I am not playing music. It is a pretty low but deep clunking noise and I only hear it on most sharp and/or bumpy turns. Anyone know how to reduce this clunking?

If you do not have this clunking can you turn off everything that makes noise, turn your car tightly to both the right and the left on a turn and see if you can reproduce this sound us with this issue have. If you can't then I must assume something needs more tightening or lubeing but I don't want to take everything apart unless it is just me.

Most clunking noises have been from not tightening down everything correctly or it becoming loose. Check the top strut bolts. See if the nut looks like it is a little high on the rod.
