Clunky ride?
Hi everyone. I’m on my fourth LS, I just purchased and 05 Custom Luxury with 78k miles. I really love the car, it’s in great shape overall. I am noticing though the front end sounding clunky over bumps and I am getting some vibration from the steering wheel at speed. The Michelin premieres on the front are almost brand new and the lower caster bushing were replaced six months ago. Anything that could be worn on the suspension? I think the next step could be road force balancing the tires. Anything I should be thinking about checking?

For that clunking sound, try to check in a quiet place to accelerate to some moderate speed and then press the brakes. if you heard the same clunking sound (it will occure once only) , it should be the lower control arm bushings..
had both issues before.
