Clunking/Banging sound
Hey guys, sad to admit it but I hit a median with the GTA
. I blew the front shock on the left and buggered the alignment, but now I have a clunking/banging sound coming from somewhere under the car that starts at about 8 mph. I think it may be the driveshaft, anybody have any experience with this kinda thing?

When you inspected the drive shaft, what did you see?
While looking up under the car for whatever is tore up, what did you notice that looked bent or broken?

Figured it out actually, I had the car in the air idling in gear while I inspected the drive shaft only to realize the front right tire had a huge flat spot on it from when I slammed on the brakes. This in combination with the impropper alignment made for a crappy ride. I el mexicano aligned the car and its doing better now. Thanks to all yalls who looked and helped.
