Re: clinking noise as going over bumps

Does anyone know of a device that I could maybe put under the car where I suspect the tink is coming from and then drive and then I could hear if the tink is coming from the sensor (probably a microphone) or if it's far away. Then I could then try moving it until I put my microphone sensor close to what it is and then that would confirm I've found the tink?
There is a tool called Chassis Ears, they would help. Also, check your sway bar end links and bushings for wear.
