Worn suspension parts - struts Loose strut mount?
front wheel drive
When you turn the wheel, or while you drive?
Buick makes a clunking sound from trans area when accelerating.
Could be the front wishbone. Mine was making similar noise, especially over bumps. Not a major repair - approx €250 euro
Worn out front shocks and struts will make a clunking noise when you go over small box. The strut may actually allows the tire to hit the fender well.
Check for looseness in the front axle u-joints.
It's either something loose or something worn out. I'd start with the shocks then look at the ball joints.
if it is a front wheel drive check the cv joints
Bad strut? Bad strut mount?
yep
check your stabilizer links as well as your sway bar bushings. the sway bar bushings might look ok but what happens is the hole gets egg shapped causes clunkinking noise s going over bumps. just had the same problem in my shop. 2002 dodge caravan.
Type your answer here... if it is a front wheel drive it could need c.v.Joint's. Just a thought
