Any insigh on how to repair? Mainly happened when pulling into a driveway that was higher than the road the car was on but seems to be happening more and more now. Starting to clunk if going over bigger pot hole etc. Any help / suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

is the sound possibly coming from the steering column?

i'd have a mechanic look at it if i were you because if it is suspension related, you'd have to have the specialty tools and know how to be able to fix it.

It sounds like the strut tower braces, where they attach in the middle. Thats what it was for me. Dealer retorqued and all is quiet.

Could it be the wind deflector (metal part that sticks up of the sun roof) bouncing against the sun roof glass?
