There is this odd clunk from the front of the car. It usually happens under one of the following conditions:

1) After start up, I will turn the wheel slightly left onto the road. Upon proceeding there is this slight clink/clunk.

2) When I reverse into a parking space there is this clink/clunk again.

3) When going over a slight bump and turning the steering wheel, I get that clink/clunk again.

I have taken it to a repair shop and they ruled out tires, alignment, tie rod, transmission. So I am at a loss on what it could be. Boots and joints look good. There is a slight click feeling when it happens.

Help please!

Good afternoon.

The first thing I would do is have all the motor mounts checked. This is a very common issue for this exact problem.
