Hi Guys
I have an yr old getz and when i aprk it after driving it,i can hear sound coming from underneath the car,more on front side than rear though cant localize it precisely.If i remember correctly,sound has been there since i bought it and i never told sevice guys about it though 3rd service is due in 3 weeks.

Sound is like if small stone is thrown on concrete and can hear after 1-2 min of switching off till about 20 min.Its very irregular and comes in interval of 2-3 seconds.

sound is more like what four_tire has said in his post below though my driving habits r not bad...

CLUNK
WHERE: Front end.
WHEN: Initially, when parking; eventually, over small bumps.
WHAT: The ball joint that connects the suspension arm to the upright has lost its lubrication and the metal-to-metal contact is wearing it out.
URGENCY: Make an appointment. Avoid bumpy roads, curbs and potholes.
FIX: Replace the ball joint.
I am more of ICE man and dont know much abt engine-vengine,so i am sorry if its a stupid question.
