- Control arms: The control arms are responsible for connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. If they are worn or damaged, they can cause a loud clunking noise.
- Ball joints: The ball joints allow the control arms to pivot, and if they are worn or damaged, they can also cause a clunking noise.
- Sway bar links: The sway bar is designed to reduce body roll when cornering, and if the sway bar links are worn or damaged, they can cause a clunking noise.
- Tie rod ends: The tie rod ends connect the steering rack to the wheels, and if they are worn or damaged, they can cause a clunking noise when turning.
- Wheel bearings: The wheel bearings allow the wheels to rotate smoothly, and if they are worn or damaged, they can cause a grinding or clunking noise.
If you are not comfortable checking these components yourself, you can take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
