My car is making noise near the springs/shocks.....

Can anyone help fix this? When i go over a speed bump i sometimes hear this clunk. Also if i turn my wheel as far as it can go it will make a noise also. All this is happening to my front passenger side wheel. Its been there for awhile but its just now bugging me.

Agreed, probably a control arm....you might consider buying a whole set

a lot cheaper, about $450 for eight front control arms and tie rod ends. Check ebay

Who did your suspension....

.... I bet you $5 its the top bolt on the shock tower not tight. When it is not tight it will vibrate around and get progressively worse. It will eventually oblong the hole and you will need to buy shock 'hat' (I forget what it is called).
