The suspension clunk is not always suspension, here's what they fixed on mine.

There are a lot of threads with various experiences with the front suspension clunk.

My car went to Seattle service twice and they tigthtened everything and couldn't figure it out.

Rocklin got the car, they confirmed suspension is correct-however- the sound was not from suspension, even though it sounded like it.

In my car, and I suspect a few others where suspension is tight but still makes noise, it was the HV Battery tray. It had undertorqued bolts from the factory, and those were causing the battery tray to clunk against the frame in the front left, which SOUNDED like suspension, but wasn't.

For short and future googlers:

Symptom: loud clunk, front left, up bumps on right hand turn, sounds like a loose strut tower bolt

Fix attempt 1: check suspension
Fix attempt 2: tighten suspention under load
Fix attempt 3: shorter bolts on sway bar endlinks

If those dont work: have service check the torque on the HV battery tray bolts.

Now it is nice and quiet.

So interestingly yesterday I started noticing an intermittent clunking noise from what sounded like the front of my car. It always comes from when one of the front wheels goes over a road imperfection, but it doesn’t always happen. The weird thing to me is sometimes the clunk happens when the road imperfection is under the front passenger side wheel and sometimes it happens with the front driver side. When it first started happening I checked to make sure there wasn’t something bouncing around in my frunk and then I checked underneath the car, but I don’t see anything obvious.

You mention tightening bolts, but is this something Lucid Service has to do? Or is this something an owner can do themselves?

My car is still under warranty FWIW, it’s a 2025 Air Touring model. The downside to lucid service is that the nearest service center is an hour away.
