Possible to blow out a strut or where is this coming from?

I just got back from the track saturday night and sunday I went for a liesure drive looking for some performance brake pads.

When going at highway speeds you dont really heart it or experience it, but at low speeds on a bumpy street you hear and feel sounds like something is loose/broken.

I've looked under the car in the strut area and everything seems fine and nothing appears to be broken.

It appears to be coming from the right side of the car and toward the front...

I hit nothing on the track and never left the track so I'm wondering if i blew out a tokico-d strut

I tossed up some of the sounds to being lowered, struts, sways etc... but it's getting louder..

I'm going to have a friends neighbor (extreme car nut) take a look this next saturday but if anyoe has any ideas...


thanks

jake

Welcome to the clunking club!

Right now I'm more worried about the rear axle groan that my stang has... with 1900 miles on it. WTF?

I think it might be the right strut cap/hat now that I think about it.

I listened all the way to work and it's only that side and that was the LAST thing I did to the car, was replace that.
