Default Diagnosing a front end clunk...
Control arms, tie rods, etc. What should I be looking for when these start to go bad? Do I just grab things and shake them to see if they're loose?

Right now, I get a reproducable clunk from the left front end right after braking as I begin a turn to the left.

Default IIRC same problem dr quattro had. turned out to be sub frame bolts.
dry CV joints "clunk" too, so make sure those are OK too.
