Figured I would bring this thread to life again, because I too am now experiencing the same issue. I get a really bad clunking noise, only in my front driver's side wheel area. Only happens when you turn the wheel at very low speeds. Once I get driving, the noise seems to stop, until I let the car sit for a while (more then a couple of hours) and then it starts again.

From what I've read I believe it may be the ball joints, and I think I am going to pick up the replacements today after work. Any suggestion on a good brand?

Alright, now this is going to sound like a very dumb question. Is the driver's side considered the left or right side of the vehicle. I wish they would just put in the description Driver's Side or Passenger's Side, lol.

Default The Clunk up front and in the trunk

I lowered the car last year in october and i thought my clunks would be solved after replacing struts, springs and mounts. I still get a clunk though slightly in the front and back. I am speculating bushings, but If so which ones? I am going to put the car on a lift on Monday. Thanks for the help. I have a 95.
