Front Suspension Clinging and Clanging. How To Take Off Front Body?

[Slats]

Some loud Clunking sounds from front suspension area. I did the bushings a couple of years ago and will look at them first. Has been going on for a while but put it off until we got some coo weather here in Orlando. I'm going to try and get to it this week.

Is there way to get the front body off fairly easy so I can get a good look at both upper and lower suspension? Thanks

Looks like he has a 2006 Precedent there is a video on utube that shows how to take the front body off

Slats, there are three sets of bushings for the stock Precedent front end and taking off the body will not help you. Remove the bumper (2 bolts), and you have easy access to everything. Most likely the control arm bushings (2 pair each side) are gone and making all the racket. You'll have to remove the three bolts holding the steering box on for access to the long upper control arm bolts. The steering box does not need to be removed. Just disconnect the tie rod ends from the steering arms and you have the flexibility to remove and replace the control arms.

The other bushings are for the leaf spring. All of them are available on Amazon or eBay as a kit.

I assumed that it is a Precedent. If it is a DS, then the above does not pertain and you will need to remove the front cowl. A lot of work.
