clunk coming from front suspension

[regulator213]

Im starting to notice a clunking noise coming from the front suspension. It happens under fairly hard acceleration. What parts have a tendency to make noise under acceleration if wearing out or loose?

I know you said suspension, but when my motor mounts were shot (usually the front or rear) the motor bangs under load transfer and makes a clunk sound. If not, wheel bearings over bumps will make very loud clunk sounds, but that doesn't seem to be happening with your car.

Check your ball joints for play.

Could also be the rubber parts on struts, but thats rare..

that could be very true. My motor mounts are shot, thats for sure. I will check into that. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately, nearly every part in the suspension can cause a clunking sound when damaged, as well as the motor mounts that were pointed out already.
