I've got a 2015 Dodge Charger R/T that's developed this annoying clunk from the front left over small bumps and cracks in the road. It's not super loud but I can feel it through the floor a bit. Big bumps like speed bumps actually sound fine, it's the little stuff that makes the noise. I took it to a quick lube place for an oil change and asked them to poke around, they said the shock looks dry but no visible leaks. I'm not convinced it's the shock because the car doesn't bounce or wallow. Could be sway bar links or control arm bushings right? I was looking at the Dodge shock absorber info online https://suspensionrepairdubai.ae/dodge-shock-absorber-replacement/ but I don't want to jump to conclusions. Is there a way to diagnose this myself without a lift? I've got a jack and stands but I'm not a mechanic. I tried bouncing the corner by pushing down on the fender and it seemed to stop after one bounce which I think means the shock is okay? Does that test actually work on a heavy car like a Charger? Also if it is the shocks, do I have to replace them in pairs or can I just do the noisy one? Money is a bit tight right now but I don't want to ignore something that could become dangerous. Any advice from Mopar guys would be really helpful. Also if anyone knows a good shop in Dubai that won't rip me off please share. Thanks.
