So what are the conditions when you are hearing the clunk again??
I once had a mysterious clunk in the right front that I could NOT figure out. Turned out to be a loose lug nut on the right rear...
I had this problem in my Civic. It was the upper A-arm bushings. Check your bushings and balls.
These might help too.
Turning the steering wheel left while moving in forward or reverse. The clicks seem to be related to how fast (or not) I'm moving.Quote:

Is it just a single clunk or more a clunk, clunk, clunk? I had that when I backed into my driveway. Siren for the alarm would swing enough to bump the fender.
^Clunk, clunk, clunk. It almost sounds like something is rubbing or 'catching' but I can't find it.
We just had a car in the shop with a clunk in the rear in first gear. It turned out to be a loose alignment bolt. I stuck a pry bar in between each control arm and the sub frame and one made a clunk. Tightened bolt, problem gone.
Does the noise change with speed?
^I gorilla tightened the alignments bolts yesterday when I had the shock out. The noise does seem to coincide with the wheel rolling speed.
Try swapping tires to make sure it isn't in the wheel and tire.
Check your caliper bracket bolts.
Confirm the brake line isn't rubbing.
Since it seems to occur on left turns at low speed and changes with speed, I'm going to suggest a new front left hub/bearing but If you do swap the front hub, make sure you specify ABS or No ABS. We carry them. I'm out of non-ABS but have some on order.
Sounds like it is just about time to chock it up to experience, sell it to Steve, and move on.
Have a spare GoPro or some other small video device you don't care about it getting dirty? Strap it securely and go for a short ride. Perhaps you'll be able to see something.

...Assuming you checked the other things I suggested first.
Install a loud-ass exhaust so you can't hear the clunk!
Next you'll ask me to cut off the windscreen/block/shield. ;)Quote:
