Just in case any of you are having the same problem, I finally located and fixed a front end CLUNK I have been having for a long time.:confused: Brought it to thee dealership a couple of time thinking it was a suspension problem, as it seemed to be coming from the front right, and when I hit certain kinds of bump - Mostly more abrupt ones. They never could find anything. :confused: I tapped moved everything I could think of - Spare, etc. but to no avail. Removed the spare today to poke around some more, and found that the battery holddown was not tight!:eek: That was it!! :biggrin: Tightened down both bolts, took her on a drive, and it is now just sweet silence. :biggrin:

Worth checking out if you are getting any noise from the front, as the battery is pretty big and heavy, and will definitely move around if the hold down is not tight.
 
I had a clunking also at one time when messing around up front. I ended up jumping my car through the battery instead of the fuse box and had to loosened the spare tire. Forgot to tighten it back down, doh!
