For some reason lately, well at least I think its just been lately my car sounds like shit in the front (I think it might only do it when its cold outside) but it sounds like my struts bottom out but im pretty sure theyre still good anybody have any idea what this could be? It only comes from the front and its pretty loud

The front bushings are known to wear out, just not as fast as the rear's.

They unfortunately are kinda hard to get a good look at unless you have a hoist.

Also, my control arms totally fell apart with less then 30,000 miles on my car. Bad control arms would definately make a clunking noise.

Holy cow. Not good. Was it the bushings or what?

Yes, the top bushings and the ball joint was totally crushed... Too bad I didn't have a camera at the time... the picture would have been interesting to revisit.
