    Default Severe noise at the front left wheel over bumps

    Hi! first time posting.

    I was wondering if anyone can help me identify the problem. There is a huge noise that is created when i go over bumps and it sounds like there's a lot smacking and clunking noise at the front left wheel. However, whenever the wheel is turned to the right and I go over bumps, it doesn't make a sound.

    Thanks in advance!

    @bankai1 -If you have clunking and clanging coming from the front end, take it in to a shop and get it checked out asap. Could be several things, no use guessing and a couple things could cause loss of control if they completely break loose.

    Yep take it to the shop. If you have to come on a forum and ask, it is best left up to a pro. Could be a number of things. Sway bar endlink, ball joint, control arm bushing, strut mount, tie rod end. Only way to know is to get up underneath and see where the movement is coming from.
