<P>Upper and/or lower ball joints. Lift front tires off the ground and grab the tire at top and bottom. Try to push in and out and see if there is any movement. If there is it is either wheel bearings or ball joints. Good luck!</P>

<DIV></DIV>>I knew that subject header would get your attention.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I have those very noises coming from the right front wheel well. I know
<DIV></DIV>>the upper control arm bushing needs replacing... but what other
<DIV></DIV>>components could be responsible for making clunking noises on rough
<DIV></DIV>>roads. I've replaced the shocks so I know they've been installed
<DIV></DIV>>properly. Are there other bushings I should be looking at or some
<DIV></DIV>>rubber bits?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Any suggestions appreciated.
