Hello,
I am not sure if this is the right area to post about this but recently I have been experiencing this weird clunking noise when turning and low speeds going forward. Im not sure if it’s suspension related. I’ve seen online where some people say this is a common thing and non issue.

Any info would be appreciated.

No, a clunking noise is not normal and whoever said it was is stupid.

I would suspect a U-joint in one of your front axles, or maybe a wheel bearing but less likely.

What ever it is you want to check it out before you find out the hard way. I had a front wheel bearing go and the wheel literally fell off moments before I was travelling at highway speed.

If its up front and while turning, it very well could be a ujoint in the front axle shaft. Sometimes you have to completely remove the shaft to feel that is actually bad.

Okay thank you. And just to be clear, it is not constant. Meaning when I turn or go to stop or slow down it makes the noise once when turning and maybe once or twice in the other cases.
