Clunking Noise When Hitting A Bump Or Sometimes Turning Please Help!!!

Ok the other day i was driving my car down the road and went over some railroad tracks. Some bumpy ones.... and after that i noticed that whenever i hit a bump or sometimes when i turn there will be a clunking under the car on the driver side by the wheel and can feel it on the floorboard and on the pedals if my feet are on them at the time. I hope this is nothing major but would like to know what it might be!! Please help!!!

You probably have a broken sway bar end link. It makes a lot of racket when they are broken. The sway bar moves around creates a loud clunking noise.

Broken strut/Ball joint. Could be the sway bar too. Sway bar is easy to check. Check it first, then check the rest.
