clunking noise on C55 Front suspension

When I come out from my drive way down turning a bit, there's a clunking noise from front end. Anyone have that problem? Solutions?

Make sure the nut on the top of the front strut did not come loose. Its the one you can get to from the engine compartment. Also check to make sure the swaybar endlink nuts is tight that connects to the front strut.

Can I do that by myself? Which nuts are you talking about.? I looked at it there's this rubber cover in the middle and 3 nuts around it?

It would be the one large nut in the center of the rubber cover. If it is clunking then it would be loose to the touch. Sure you can do it yourself, just make sure all the bolts/nuts are tight in the front suspension.

Without a proper diagnosis, I would not be messing with suspension based on your question and replies. It's guess work.

It will save you time and money in the end without proper know-how.
