Dangerous, not necessarily. but definitely something you should get fixed right away. If it's just the bushings, it's not really a huge job. but if you let it go for a few months, it will be worse.

What causes a clunk noise in the front end of your 2005 Saturn Vue?
If the Saturn Vue is anything like the Saturn ION, chances are it's the front sway bar bushings. A design flaw caused them to wear out prematurely. This causes a clunking noise when going over bumps. It is also very possible that it is a front control arm bushing. Start with the sway bar bushings (since they are cheap) then check the control arm bushings.

Why does your 99 Oldsmobile intrigue sway?
If it has more than 100k miles, it probably needs new struts. Other possibilties are broken sway bar, worn sway bar bushings, or softer tires (like BFG Radial T/A). Check the anti-sway bars at the front and rear. You could have a broken sway bar linkage, which is easy and cheap to fix. The car will usually make a clunking sound if you have a broken linkage when you turn sharply.
How do you replace sway bar?
You have to remove the end links, then remove the sway bar bushings (there are two) and the sway bar will come out. Sway Bars usually do not need to be replaced unless they are bend or completely broken. It is usually end links being worn or the bushings being warn out.
