Jack up the front end, remove the front wheels. Check and make sure the sway bar end links are tight. The end links are what connect the end of the sway bar to the strut. They're vertical, can't miss 'em. Mine were loose a year after I put Eibachs on and clunked like a mofo over rough roads. Once I tightened the end links, it's been solid ever since.
I was googling around and found the following recall. It appears it's a problem with a weld.

That sentance alone says it all! Awsome search results man! Good Job, lets See Ford fix this now.
not factory struts, eibach struts only.
about the clunk, tighten the sway bar endlinks to 85 lb-ft. thats the spec, and they rattle if not properly torqued.
Anyone else having a problem with a clunking noise coming from the front end while slow speeds. It sounds like something is loose in the suspension or something. I only have 800 miles on it. I didn't really notice the noise until recently...
I'll have to pull out my torque wrench to see if they are at 85 ft lbs. It is easier than having to drive 45 miles to the dealer.not factory struts, eibach struts only.

I installed a complete Roush suspension front and back, the car handles awsome but I still have a slight clunk in the front end. Large bumps are fine, it is just when you drop the front wheels off the garage floor to the driveway (a sharp quick bump) is when it clunks.
Sounds like a shock arm might be over extending and hitting the end of the shock body. This could be due to premature wear, flaw in that particular shock, or the wrong shock/spring combo.
I agree! Quiet on the inside and freaggin' load outside...that's how it should be.Yup, ZERO cabin drone yet an AWESOME sound.
Guys on here griping about the Corsa's sounding too quiet haven't let someone else drive their car while they stand outside of it. And that's where you want the sound anyway!
It sounds EVIL. WoT scares small children especially.
