So im getting so sick and tired of this..and i think i know what might be going on but want to double check since i tend to over-think things alot.
As we all know, the roads are complete shit. In TC they stopped pretty much doing anything to the roads so there's ice chunks and patches and bumps and divets. Well going over 20mph theres a LOUD banging noise comming from the drivers front end, i can feel it in the floor. I know the shocks are blown and shock mounts are bad and bushings are shot. I just dont know which one or combination of the three. What do you think?
Also, this is the second time in the past week I had a flat tire on my drivers rear. I dont know what has been going on, but the first one deflated over night while it was parked. Took the tire off resealed it and remounted it. Now after getting home 30 minutes ago, i get out of my car and hear a hissing from that tire and its flat. Any ideas? doesn't look like any foreign objects in the tire and no dents or chunks missing out of the rim. Im thoroughly frustrated because its not slow leaks or weather cracks or neglect or anything, just randomly flat.
gah..help me pwz?

I must be missing the question Or you answered it yourself? Your car makes clunking sounds up front, and you stated that basically anything do do with your suspension up there is toast.... Replace it...problem solved?? Next If you can hear a hissing sound coming from the problem tire, it has a hole from a nail etc that you probably can't see. There may not even be a foreign object in there anymore, but there's obviously a leak. Bring it in and have a tire shop repair it... Problem solved?? Don't really mean to be a dick, so if it came across that way I appologize, but I'm confused by your post, and am too lazy to retype my reply for sugar-coating.

haha dont worry, i cant get a little confusing i was just laying everything out there.
For the front end, i was wondering what would cause that loud bang. Ive had bad shock mounts before, never sounded like that, never had really bad bushings like i do in the talon, so i don't know if the control arm would sound like that?..basically, if anyone had a problem like this and if they remedied it. Basically 'cuz i'm really broke like everyone else and i hate throwing parts at the car.
The flat thing. No foreign objects, i've never had tire problems like this before, i was just driving, then i parked then flat, its been taken to a tire shop before, and it will go again tomarrow, just want to know things to help prevent this i guess? i wasn't sliding around, i didn't hit anything, just all of a sudden just flat. Im just perplexed i guess.
and you know i don't need sugar coating..haha sometimes I'm a little dumb, i just want to get to the bottom of it cuz it's irritating.

I would start with the struts then if it were my car. They tend to be noisy when bad. As for the tire, there's really no way to avoid it, shit happens. I hit 2 nails in 2 days with my truck this summer. And last year got one on the back of my bike the same day I bought a new tire due to the burnouts I was doing with the old one. Shit sucks.

check the front lower rear control arm bushings.... my whole front end was shot and i changed the struts and mounts and it didnt fix it but as soon as the those bushings where changed it went away until oil saturated them again

I replaced all my bushings with the urethane kit, but in the process I bought new front lower a-arms. They came with bushings, so I have two new rear bushings for the front control arms if you want them. If I can find them you can have them for the shipping cost.

new tire, new struts (which you guys could buy those kyb gr2s with eibachs from me, complete with rear camber kit) and replace those bushings.
