I chased the EXACT same noise for months. It got progressively worse. Over the past two years I've rebuilt the entire front end including sway bar links. After seeing this video I took a chance on another set. Low and behold, it worked. I had the EXACT same issue, bad ball on the sway bay end on the drivers side. Last time I did this I bought cheap ones so it must have been bad from the start. I bought better this time. Thanks for making this.
My friend I've changed my inner and outer tie rods yesterday morning. Took it for a test drive just like you did and found the problem to be there just like you did I was just as frustrated believe me.itool off my lower control arm fed and it to was very worn. After replacing everything and getting an alignment done I still have a small clunking noise very small so I did in fact remove most of it but now you got me thinking that it is in fact the sway bar link! I too did in fact the same thing you did I bought cheap links, but now I will upgrade hopefully that is the problem. Thanks for the vid. You have a good helper to help out to .
This is the video I needed to watch. I have the same car with AWD but a 2018. The noise started happening after 75k miles. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s my sway bar links. Thanks for sharing this! This is very helpful.
I was a little surprised to have to replace my sway bar links twice so far…but like I said the first set were cheap ones from Oreilly’s. So far so good on these new grease-able links…it’s an easy job, good luck and thanks for watching!!!
@@Jojoandsonsgarage thanks again! I made sure to make note of replacing the sway bar links with the second set you bought. I found them at Oreillys and plan on buying them this week. The price is very reasonable.
i have 2012 chrysler 300 bought it used first time owning a 300 and i love it. even though i havent had this problem it was a great insight !! thanks guys it awesome you and little man can bond and work on it together ! keep it the great work you earned a like and new subscriber.
I tell ya I really wanted the tire burning rear wheel drive V8, but for my climate the AWD made more sense, and boy does it go through the snow…it’s a good decent looking car in my opinion, and it’s a buyers market for low mileage used ones…go get one!!!
I have an early model 2006 5.7 that has had this problem i even took it to a shop and they couldn't find it. I will definitely have to try this. And report back before i do my shocks.
Hey fantastic video, 2010 rwd 300 here with same noise. I replaced the sway bar bushings and no improvement at all. Inspected end links and zero movement. As you did, I will replace end links and hopefully fix the issue. Did you have car on Jack stands and then use Jack under control arm to help line up the link ends? Thank you and cheers
I did have the car up on jack stands…I disconnected both sway bar links so I could line them up with the sway bar and tighten those suckers down tight. Glad you got something out of this video!
Wouldn't you want to check with the suspension free? Cause that is a lot of weight to try and move. At 5:47 I see the sway bar link lower bushing looks pretty bad..
I was trained on a set up with an upper and lower ball joint to check for play loaded…yes the sway bar end links ended up being bad, but I would never had guessed it would make that much noise
My same exact issue I am experiencing. The sway bar was changed a year and half ago and now I am hearing the same exact noise on the driver side. One shop said they hear nothing yea ok, the dealer said they don’t know where it’s coming from after I told them where to check. So frustrating
As I showed in the video, the sway bar links didn’t observe any play until they were taken off…I’ve put on a ton of noise free miles since I installed these. I’d have the repair shop remove the links and check each joint for play. Good luck and thanks for watching
@@michaelcollins7321 Take those sway bar links off and check them…I bought cheap ones that didn’t last very long and the noise came back…that’s when I got pissed and made this video
Eh I did all that replaced the sway bar bushings and put btr sway bar links and I stil have that annoying clunk.. I have the 2005 touring rwd I haven’t replaced the lower control arms but I’ll take it to a mechanic n see wat they tell me ..
i have change everything under the front, still made the same noise.... iam beginning to think it has something to do with the break caliper, cause when i step on the break it seems to be a lot less sometimes even stops
2008 hemi-Not a noisy rattle or clunk but I get a frequent silent vibration that feels like I'm running over highway Rumble Strips...any ideas , Thanks
Not a stupid question. It drove me crazy to find hard points to jack from. Center of the front and rear axle. Lower control arms as close to the wheel assmb. as possible (best). The transfer case on AWD. Don't use the rocker panels or floor sheet metal.
@@Jojoandsonsgarage Should have said similar. Only difference is the lower control arm/front tension strut is a different design, but same function...same sway bar setup, same upper control arm/strut spring setup too.
Main problem" . O'reilly Auto Parts. Seller of the worst built car parts in the world. Asian made junk. On a preventative note, you can purchase a hypodermic needle designed to inject chassis grease into the ball joints. Only a few bucks. It snaps onto the grease gun coupler. The needle easily penetrates the rubber ball joint seal so you can force fresh grease into the joint. The hole it makes is very small and very little grease will escape over many driving miles. I mark the hole location with yellow paint marker so I can find it again more easily. We own a 2014 300C and I grease ALL the ball joints under the car. There's a lot of them, and none of them are equipped with grease zerks. Haven't needed to replace any suspension joints in ten years.

I wish someone would make a great sway bar link…until then these will work. I’m glad the video helped out!
Where did you purchase yours

I like the Chrysler 300 a lot. I just purchased a 2023 300 which is its final year.
no they still make them
@@Hemi2018 2023 is the last year for the Chrysler 300 lol
working on Mopars for many years, whenever possible MOOG parts, repeat whenever possible MOOG parts!

I rented one and I loved it. I must purchase one!!!!!

Check it out!!! It’s crazy how loud worn away bar links can be!
Hey man, this might be a bit of a longshot, but did it work?

Thank you guys so much!!! I think this will fix my sons problem!!
Thank you for this .
But i think when you want to check the rubber of suspension parts, you must unloaded the car
Thank u❤

had this problem before and if you want to take out end links of equasion take end links off car and see if it makes noise
That’s correct
Awesome video
Thanks!
Man I got the 300s front end kit from rock auto got everything done tell me why this clunking noise can back 😫😫😫😫
@@michaelcollins7321 Take those sway bar links off and check them…I bought cheap ones that didn’t last very long and the noise came back…that’s when I got pissed and made this video
Sometimes the motor mounts make those noises also
@@mattwolf1718 I had an oil leak I was chasing on this car…sure enough it was a leaking motor mount!!!
Thank you for this!!
Eh I did all that replaced the sway bar bushings and put btr sway bar links and I stil have that annoying clunk.. I have the 2005 touring rwd I haven’t replaced the lower control arms but I’ll take it to a mechanic n see wat they tell me ..
RWD set up is WAY different then this AWD is. Super common failure on your front end is the tension rod and or bushings…good luck!!!
@@Jojoandsonsgarage yeah n thanks
Nice ride
It’s a total HOSS approved ride
my 2008 chrysler has this same problem its so loud on bumps but nothing was moving
I’d try removing the sway bar links and checking them off the car for end play
Just do the bushings and links. It's not a bad job overall.
i have change everything under the front, still made the same noise.... iam beginning to think it has something to do with the break caliper, cause when i step on the break it seems to be a lot less sometimes even stops
Interesting!!! Good luck
2008 hemi-Not a noisy rattle or clunk but I get a frequent silent vibration that feels like I'm running over highway Rumble Strips...any ideas , Thanks
Center drive shaft support?
Ummmm. It sure seemed like i still heard the same noise after the link swap.
I’ve probably put on 20k miles since this repair without any noise…thanks for watching
This is gonna sound like a stupid question but where are the floor jack points
Not a stupid question. It drove me crazy to find hard points to jack from. Center of the front and rear axle. Lower control arms as close to the wheel assmb. as possible (best). The transfer case on AWD. Don't use the rocker panels or floor sheet metal.
I have a rwd Chrysler 300 5.7 and I took it to my mechanic and he couldn’t find anything
@@davebontrager6875 Remove the sway bar links and check them…that’s the only way to be 100% sure…Thanks for tuning in!
All them dodges do that after a while. I nee this in 2014 when I had a charger
Did he just say chessis 😮
Yup he said it. 😂
Chassis is pronounced 'Chas-see'
Just an FYI
Bad gas mileage? This car gets better gas mileage than some 4 bangers😂
It gets the same mileage as my 2010 Camaro SS with the LS3!!! Love my Chryslers…but they’re not known for fuel mileage
Same setup as RWD.
False
