I took my car in to have front struts done after they were done on the passenger side front. I hear like a clay sound every once in a while when I’m rolling over a parking lot or when I put it in the driveway, I’ll hear a clan like something’s loose I was told my struts are tight. What could it be?

Welcome and your Ask Someone question has been re-directed over to Car Talk…

What is a **clay sound** and what do you mean by I’ll **hear a clan like something’s**???  
And does rolling over a parking lot mean over speed bumps?? Or do you mean just driving slow speeds??

Please explain in more detail…
