Clunk-clunk

Turned aggressively into a parking spot and heard 3 or 4 light clunk-clunk-clunk up front. Back out of the spot to repeat the maneuver, and got the same sounds. Nohing moving straight..... Could it be a wheel bearing? Didn't think these bearings ever failed these days?

I think you could jack up the front end, put it on stands and inspect the arms, suspension and joints, probably have a friend turn the wheel back and forth while you're watching, spin and kick the tire, listen to it while lifting and lowering, etc. Look for cracks, broken connections, bent parts, loose parts, etc.

The first thing I would check is the sway bar end links. There should be ZERO play.
