Default Clunk From Front End??

Sometimes after I park my car and then go to pull away I hear a clunk from the front end drivers side. It has happened a few times well brakeing and going into a left hand turn as well.

Any ideas on what this can be??? I have a power steering leak that is becoming a bit of a problem as well near one of the boots... I think it is due to not driving the car that much!!!

What year is your Z? There is a TSB for front end clunking on the earlier models, which is caused by the front upper A arm bolts coming slightly loose. Re-torque the bolts and you're set.

If that doesn't work, then it's probably your end links or sway bar bushings.

it could be any number of things - your best bet is to have a qualified shop go over the front end in detail
