About a month ago I had a problem with my wheel hub assembly. Well, I want to thank everyone here for the advice and sure enough that was the problem. Now however I have a new problem. When I turn my wheel to the left and pull out of my driveway I hear a "clunk" noise coming from my passenger side wheel. This "clunk" noise also appears when I go slowly over a speed bump. Now heres what has been replaced to make it easier for diagnosis. End link bushings, caliper hardware, brakes, and hub assembly. The cv joints are also good. This would seem to me that it could be the tie rod or the lower ball joint. However, both seem tight to me. Any advice would be GREAT!

Thanks Kdaddy

Just a single thought. I had a clunk for the longest time (5 years?) in my '69. Turned out that my brake caliper was rattling around- there are some o-rings that held the caliper in place over the mounting bolts, and they were all worn out.

The giveaway was that finally I realized that there was no clunk when I was stepping on the brakes.

Its not the calipers. In fact, the harware for my brakes are new.
