Strange clunking noise when turning
I've been hearing it now for a few days and it's starting to get annoying
Everytime I turn the wheel to the right I can hear a clunking noise come from somewhere up front, especially when I pull into a driveway or bumpy road. Could it be some kind of bushing gone bad? I'm going to remove the front wheels later and check for any loose suspension parts
Any idea of what it could be? Thanks

I doubt it's my wheel bearings since the two front ones are brand new lol, I changed em out around the time I put on my brake rotors. It only clunks about 3-4 times, it's not that bad. Just annoying :p
I'm doing an oil change today as well so I'll check once I'm under there. I got a bottle of sea foam, Anyone care to walk me through on how to use it on a monte? Like where to pour it in, how much, and should I use it before or after the oil change? I didn't want to open up a new thread.

Seafoam. There's 3 uses / 3 places. I use 2 cans when I do all 3 places.
Full can into a 1/4 full gas tank, then fill up completely with fuel. DONE.
Half Can into the oil, drive around for about 50 miles. Change the oil, oil will be thicker and gross and not drain as well but doable. DONE.
Half Can into the brake booster vacuum line. There's a light green cap on it I believe, it is hard to pry off if you haven't in a long time. POUR SLOWLY with the engine on so it sucks it in. When you have a tiny bit left dump it all fast and let the engine stall out. If it doesn't stall, quickly shut it off. Put your vacuum line back on and let it sit for 45 minutes. Start it up (will be difficult) and watch the smoke come out if the engine is dirty. Then take it for a redline run on a quiet road haha.
Depending on how nasty your engine was, your plugs might need to be replaced after that.
