thunking noise from driver side wheel well, what is it?

[williamc]

I hope someone can diagnose this. My car is making a thunking noise from from the driver side, front wheel area. Whenever I go over a bump, no matter how small, the noise is heard. Any ideas on whats causing this? I have 6 month old KYB AGX on stock springs. Thanks guys.

Inspect your ball Joints

Also put the front end up on jack stands and try and see if it is the sway bar bushings. It is a common problem with our cars.

Also check the bearing for the strut shaft in the top strut mount, they go bad over time.
