Re: Clunking noise
If you do any of your own work jack up each front wheel put your hand on the top and bottom of wheel. Move the wheel pushing in and out top and bottom. A loose wheel bearing can cause this. If ball joints have been replaced the rivets are removed and the new ones have bolts. Sometimes the bottom ones have to be pressed in. If only the bottom ball joints have been replaced the top ones normally go first. Block the rear wheels put in park and use a flashlight and watch for excessive movement in the tie rod ends.
If your dealer can't fix the problem go to an alignment shop like NTW and have your front end checked out. Always ask for all used parts replaced. Any decent shop will test drive a vehicle before sending it out. A customer will bitch about the price but is a lot madder if the problem isn't fixed.
I used to have a shop and would refund the money if the mechanic can't fix the problem.
