Advice Needed

[zzmac]

I get a little "clunk" sound coming from under the driver side footbox a lot of times when going over a small bump or sometimes when turning a corner. Only hear it at slow speeds but the pipes might be drowning it out at higher speeds.

I'm going to get under the car tomorrow to see if I can find anything wrong.
Not a lot to go on but has anyone had this issue before? Anything in particular I should be looking for?

Might be the exhaust support bracket

Nickel to a donut. KirkV has diagnosed your problem.

I'll owe you a honey glazed if your right.

zzmac -
It may be kinda loud and harder to tell, but do you ever hear or "feel" it under hard acceleration?

[zzmac]

No. Not the motor mount if that's what you were thinking.

Sorry no donut. The exhaust support bracket was touching the body so I thought that was the issue. I fixed that but the clunking noise has not gone away and is probably more frequent. Most noticeable when driving at slower speed over bumps etc.., still sounds like coming from the front end.

Any other suggestions?

Suspension bushings (loose ball joint, tire rod, wheel bearing). Pull the wheels off and check each one.
