    Hey everyone, reaching out for any ideas on what to check on my 2009 prius that jolts and clinks when slowing down or accelerating from a stop. I recently changed out the lower control arm assembly, front ball joints, cv axles, outer steering tie rods, and all the motor mounts. I got an alignment, everything seems tight, feels tight. Still having trouble pinpointing the source of the noise. We got it up on ramps and rocked it, but that didn't replicate the sound. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you :)

    Welcome to PriusChat.... Can you write a few more sentences about what you mean when you say: "jolts and clinks when slowing down." Please be as specific and detailed as possible, especially when it comes to location this stuff is coming from.
