    Front clunking noise solved?

    I think I figured out my problem. Last July, I heard a horrible metal-on-metal sound as I pulled out of a parking spot. It went away, so I didn't think anything of it. Fast forward to March, and my daughter got her temps. In her first parking lot, she slammed on the brakes a few times at...
