Getting a clunk in the front end when going over bumps, but not all the time. Just sometimes. I know, makes it impossible to get serviced.

I had the same issue in my last vehicle (Saturn Outlook, which was notorious for bad end links and bad sway bar bushings). Exact same sounds.

Any thoughts on what to have the dealership check?

I have the same thing on my truck that I just picked up on Friday. It clunks on the front right side when going slow over bumps. At speed I don't hear it. Hello by the way.

Does it feel like its in the suspension or the steering shaft/column? I have a clunk sometimes that feels like is in the column or steering sector and doesn't feel like its coming from the wheel/suspension area.

When you are driving and it happens, can you drive back over the same spot and it will do it again?
Like Kaiser said Where do you feel it?

Sway bar links, sway bar bushings, ball joints, inner or outter tie rods, control arm bushings or steering shaft. It could be one of those
