My car is making a clunk noise or grinding noise when driving over a rough bump / rough railroad crossing and will make the same noise when making a left turn with a bump in the intersection. I have not heard it while making a right turn with or without driving over bumps. I can make left turns all day with even pavement and will not hear the noise. I have also tried driving in circles with the wheel completely turned left / right in a parking lot and did not hear the noise. The noise is coming from the front passenger side of the car.
This is not the normal whine/squealing sound that I have heard from cars with bad wheel bearings.
I lifted the car and tried wiggling the wheel up/down, left/right and did not notice any movement.
Brakes are about to need replacing by visual inspection (no squealing yet)
The car is a 2000 GT. Stock ride height. New front control arm (bushings and ball joint). Struts, sway bar bushings, end-link bushings, are about 2 years old (appear to be in good shape).
