Quick Guide to Diagnosing Differential & Driveline Noises ...

Likely to be either a propshaft Universal Joint, or possibly a Constant Velocity Joint in the front axle.

Is it more of a noise when starting off (and moving slowly) when turning hard to the right or left? Whichever direction is worse, that side is the first place to check (the Constant Velocity CV joint in the swivel housing)

If both directions sound the same , check the propshaft joints.

check the drop links they don't like bumps. fitted to the anti roll bar and the strut ( suspension strut ) change both side at same time. to check it is these grab it and pull about if it feels like its moving easy then replace. should be stiff and no movement when pulling. these make a clunking sound when they go.

It's the anti-sway bar endlinks. My '06 g35x has the same symptoms - clunking at low speeds, varying from which side of the car the noise comes from as to which side of the car is hitting bumps in the road surface. EASY to replace yourself with the front end on jack stand, and you don't even need to remove the underbody plastic panel, so it's quicker than an oil change. To verify this is the problem before you order the parts (which are about $100 for the x, as it's a different part altogether than the endlinks on the RWD sedans or coupes, so be careful when ordering), just remove the current endlinks and take a test drive - don't worry about removing the whole sway bar, just the links at the ends of the bar). If this is the case, you will not hear the clunking any more. I do not recommend driving like this for any distance, as the car will become tail happy and your sway bar ends could point towards the ground while left unsupported and become damaged.

have the "U" joints or cv joints checked at the front end

I have a clunking noise in the front of my 06 saturn vue , all front end parts are ok

That noise sounds to me like a Ball Joint problem. I would check to see if you have fittings to grease the front suspention.

Good luck, Allen

sounds like lower balljoints or inner tie rod ends jack up the car try to move wheel from side to side

going in drive way noise that most of time upper ball joint you can have a stabilisator link that worn i suject you get that ball joint check again i dont like that noise hope its a fixya for you and me thanks pierre

Had similar problem with 2003 Dodge GC. Replaced the parts you mention + rack & pinion, then to fix the now noticable whining noise, replaced power steering pump and pulley. Fortunately was under an extended warrentee at 46k miles.
