Clicking noise from front of car

Hey guys,

The past few drives of mine I've been hearing a clicking/rubbing noise from the front of my car. I'm on air suspension but have tried riding at max height with no change in the noise. The noise was at first when I would air my car okay (slam it down), but it is now happening during regular driving. I have a splitter attached to my ipl bumper and some of the bolts have fallen out over time. The bottom of the bumper seems somewhat loose and I can move it quite a bit by pushing on it. I am assuming the loose bumper is the issue here and am going to reinstall my splitter as soon as I can and see if that solves my issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had never considered that. I did some research and that seems like it may very well be my issue. Thanks!

I had the same issue,took it to the dealership numerous times. They finally figured out it was something to do with the brake shield. In my case a stone got lodged in there and they just needed to readjust the shield. No problems since

Is the noise different whith the wheel turned one way or another.
I had a clunk that was intermittent. Would sometimes get louder with the wheel turned slightly left.
I replaced tie-rod end links and the noise went away

Don't think so. Happens while turning and driving straight, made worse with bumps. I'm due for inspection soon so will ask my guy to check out the end links.

Had the same issue when I first picked up my car. Sway bar end links were the culprit.

Agree sway bar end links most likely culprit. I have done the front and rears in the past year and my life is much better as a result.
