Hey guys.. I get a clunking noise from the front left of the car whenever i hit a bump when turning, or when cutting the wheel all the way at a standstill. Was wondering what it could be... I got down under and checked all the rods and connectors to the wheel but they all seem fine.. anybody got any idea what it could be?

I have the same clunk noise when turning the wheel at a standstill. I asked about this before, but nobody had an answer. All of my suspension/steering components are in good order as well.

I too have a creaking, squeaking noise when I turn the wheel hard at very low speed. Like when I want to park.

It is getting worst I think

Wonder if anybody know what it was but I guess not.

Can it be bushing of the front suspension arm ?

Are you getting the clunking while turning the wheel all the way or when the wheels return back to normal? I had an issue of clunking while going over anything that was unlevel. I also noticed it while I was going around curves at a normal that higher speed. I ended up having a bad lower ball joint.
