Loose coolant resevoir?

I am having an occasional clunking sound that seems to come from the front (us) passanger side engine bay. I tightened the strut top mount and motor mount and still getting the sound. I checked the resevoir to see if that may have been the source of the sound, and it is mounted to the car in a way that allows it to move. Maybe its jumping in the slots that the tank sits in?

Anyone else notice this?

I thought you were looking for a place to store your loose coolant. [wink]

Have you changed anything in your front suspension?
Sway bar end links are notorious for this type of noise if they are not tight.
You should use a torque wrench to make sure.

what do the sway bar end links torque to?
