When I am on an incline, like in my driveway and back out and when I turn the wheel, I hear a clunk. Or like a spring has sprung. I had it to the dealer but the couldn't duplicate the sound. I still hear it.

Have your struts checked, it may be a spring making noise on the strut or a loose strut

Not sure if the dealer checked that. They couldn't duplicate the sound which I hear daily backing out of the driveway incline. They said they did a 16 pt inspection and tightened up the front end area. It handles much better but nothing was mentioned about the struts.

It hast o be something like that or similar due to hearing it when the suspension moves.

I will have to give them a call and see if it is covered under warranty. Do you think if it is the struts, they would have to be replaced? Thanks for your help by the way! :)

No because they could be loose or spring may need some grease to let it slide instead of snapping or clunking.
