I have some sort of clicking come from the front end when I go over bumps. It does not happen all the time and seems random.

is it aftermarket suspension? no "tuner" will really want to troubleshoot stock parts, just look for a mechanic if that's the case.

if it is aftermarket suspension, then you have a chance at least. Though many shops won't want to "waste" time diagnosing an intermitant clicking in the suspension. you figure most shops charge roughly $80-120 an hour, and it might take 20 min of driving to hear something, 10-15 min to get some ideas on what it is, and then go from there. in most cases it's just a loose nut/bolt or 2, in which case a shop is going to charge you $80 to tighten a couple bolts. some feel bad, some think people will bitch, in either case, some shops don't like to deal with that stuff.

It is aftermarket suspension. We have already checked all the bolts/screws and can not find anything loose. The place that installed them has already offered a full refund as they are unable to find where the clicking is coming from.
