I just recently bought my 03 Element from a new car dealer in my area. As i drove it home, I noticed a "popping/clunking" noise as i drove over a railroad crossing. I thought it was just a noise, insignificant, but called the dealer and dropped my car off the next day for them to look at it. of course, they did nothing because i bought the car "as-is" and the problem is now mine.
As i drove the next couple days i heard the noise more and more. I took it in to a repair shop and he rode with me. He determined that it was the front struts, and we went about replacing them to the tune of $875.
it seemed to have fixed the "popping" but only temporarily. the struts were replaced 5 days ago and the noise is back.
Does ANYONE have ANY IDEA as to what this could be. it is rather annoying and i don't want it to turn into a major issue.
