worn stabilizer end link, worn stabilizer bushings, worn control arm bushings, worn strut mount, worn ball joints. Take your pick
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.
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.
loose or bad u joints.
Hi I'm Patrick and I have a 1994 Plymouth Acclaim and that annoying clunking sound is coming from the rear wheels there's a bar that runs down the middle of the rail that holds the wheels together and when you go over a bump that bar smacks the canal it sits in and makes that sound so I just got my welder out and welded it to the canal to keep it from smacking.
It's either something loose or something worn out. I'd start with the shocks then look at the ball joints.
The cause of the clunking is probably the sway bar link. They are made of white platic and eventually wear out. Both sides were shot on my 2001 Taurus at 75,000 miles. It is a job you can do your self if you are handy with tools. The parts are About $28.00 per side at your local auto parts store and about $38.00 each at the Ford Dealer.
Clunking/knocking sound felt though steering wheel and floor when turning and going over bumps at low speeds.
They are what connects the transmission to the front wheels. There is one per side. They have a Constant Velocity (or CV) joint on each end to allow the suspension to move up and down with bumps and to allow the wheels to turn when you turn the steering wheel. Signs the CV joints are going bad are a clicking or clunking noise when the car is moving and a clunk on accelration. The joints are and integral part of the half shaft and so it would need ot be replaced as a unit.
It COULD be a constant velocity joint (CV joint) going bad.
I have a 1990 Chevy Lumina and when you hear clunking sounds when going over bumps or dips or if you have ever replaced your strut assembly you should replace the mounts. You can buy a quickstrut online for a lumina. Front is around $180 and rear is around $80. Hope that helps!
Both ends
Front tire wear, vehicle wants to wander going down the road, may hear clunking and snapping noises up front,
