well i'm hoping you guys know what the problem is, cause i sure as hell don't..

i just bought my 90' 240 a few days ago, and i'm noticing a "clunking" noise in the left front, as i'm going slow (less than 10mph)... it sounds almost like a rotational noise, like each time the wheel makes a rotation, it makes this clunk sound, and i can feel it through the floorboards in the driver's seat (not passenger though)

it's not the brakes cause it happens when i'm not applying them, and the rotors aren't warped or anything... and one of the rims is bent a little but don't think that would make this noise...

both front shocks are gone, and need to be replaced, but don't think that's the problem... thinking maybe a u-joint??

anyone have any ideas as to what it could be?

thanks in advance!

Could be the rack, tie rods, ball joints, etc.
