Some sound in the drivers side front clunks?
Some sound in the drivers side front clunks?
When i'm driving there is a clunking sounds like every rotation of my tire? As I slow down it gets louder also? I've looked in the wheel well and still can't figure it out
Could it be a wheel bearing or a few nuts and blts loose maybe? Heck I don't know anyone? Thanks alot Boes

have you inspected the front brake caliper to make sure it isnt loose and possibly hitting the rim? a few other things to check out would be the condition of the front strut, control arm bushings, upper strut mount, ball joints, etc.
another quess since you say it changes with the speed and rotation of the tire, have you check to make sure theres nothing lodged in the tire itself? possibly a rock or a nail or something to that effect?

Do you guys think it could have been the grease insert at the joints? I just went today and added some grease into them. They didn't have much in them. Could this have caused this to happen? I'm stumped on this one
I'll keep you guys updated on what it ends up being. Aight Boes

My wild guesses:
A limited slip differential can clunk at low speeds. My brothers does.
Make sure your center caps are tight. (this may not apply at all)
I had a lower ball joint make an awful clunk everytime I hit a bump. It turned out that the ball joint didn't have grease in it. I added grease and the problem went away.
.... ah ha I finally reread the Subject title and figured out why everyone is talking about the front end.
