New noise today, apart from the constant crunching and creaking going over bumps in the frigid cold I have noticed something new. When making a left turn AND going over a bump there is a soft clunk from the drivers side front wheel well. It also doesn't happen all the time, maybe once every two days.

Not sure if it is related but about 4 months ago I replaced the rims and tires on my car and now at highway speeds it shakes ever so slightly. I though tires needed to be re balanced so I got them done, still the same. Got the rims looked at by another shop and they said they look fine. Got some new tires earlier this month no change. I'm thinking it is upper control arms. Same with this clunk maybe? Otherwise CV joint? Not sure, not super mechanically inclined...leaning.

A little more info, it only happens when turning left AND going over a bump. Never when going straight. If I turn the wheel left and right on a straight road, nothing. Park and turn the wheel nothing.

If the upper arms bushings are busted you can get metal to metal contact.

"They all do that" is an appropriate comment here. When dealing with ruined bushings, that is.

Could be your sway bar bushings? Strange thing with mine is that ever since I had all my upper control arms replaced and when I turn going over a small bump, I get a slight clunk also from front end. Although, this only happens when the suspension is set to dynamic. Brought it back to shop and they couldn't find anything wrong with it! These front ends on these cars are Annoying!
