First gen vibe. Getting a knocking sound on the right front end when I drive over small cracks. Sway bar link?

Probably your lower control arm. I had to have mine replaced on the driver’s side over the summer and the other one is getting bad enough to need it as well. For me it was more of a thudding sound.
Welp. I was already going to replace both sides because of the bushings. lol
I wanted to replace both sides to begin with but. . . money.
Mine was a ball joint.
Yeah I’m going to go through the front end and replace balljoints, tierods, and LCAs here soon. I recently replaced the sway bar links and was hoping it wasn’t that again
I get a rumble/vibrating sound. Ball joint?
The lower control arm on the drivers side requires dropping the cradle down a few inches to remove the front bolt of the control arm.
Hmm… Why is the driver’s side different?
Transmissions in the way
Ah
The strut mounts can sometimes cause a clunking sound going over bumps if they’re worn out.
They’re new so they shouldn’t be
Bumps aren’t really a problem. It’s more like tiny little stuff in the road
10-4. Just throwing out another possible failure mode to check out.
If you recently did the end links they may not be tight enough. Mine tend to clunk when I go over bumps, especially when it’s cold and my car hasn’t moved in a bit. I’ve replaced both of them recently and had to go back and torque them several times
It’s been awhile. I’m really thinking it’s bushes. They looked shot when I did the CV
I’ll probably just go to pull a part this weekend and get a spare set and replace the bushes with poly
I guess that could be it. I’ve only ever replace my lower balljoint and end links. I have yet to touch my lca’s but I hope I don’t have to any time soon lol
Mine also clunks when taking off sometimes. Which makes me think bushes.
