Default Weird *clunk* noise coming from suspension

I'm having a weird noise coming from my car. It's a low pitched "clunk" noise. It sounds like it's coming from the suspension on the driver's side, and it sometimes happens in the front, sometimes happens in the rear. It happens when I go over bumps sometimes, sometimes when I'm just turning (even gently), and sometimes happens when I'm braking (even gently). Anyone had this happen? I'm going to call my dealer, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone else here has had this happen. Thanks,

-Sean

I had the same problem and after much trial and error it turned out to be the bolts on the control arms ("wishbone" I believe) were not tightened to spec, they tightened them and noise gone, have them check both sides as after fixing the right side the left side started a couple of weeks later and fixed the same way.
