Left Front End

2002 SC. I have a vibration in the left front area of my SC. I have new tires so I don’t think it is a wheel or tire problem. When I turn the wheel I hear one clunking sound. Could it be upper or lower control arms? Bushings? I’m not really a mechanic. Help is greatly appreciated.

Could be a ball joint (common) but I would have it checked out to be sure.

How new are the tires? Did the sound start after they were installed? Did you get standard size tires, or did you decide to upgrade?

Thanks for the suggestions from all you folks. I am going to have a mechanic check it out. The advice will give me an idea of the kind of problems I should mention.

Standard size yokohama tires. It could have started about a month after I installed the tires.

Try This

When I had some vibration in my steering Wheel, I had the Lexus Dealership Road Force Balance all 4 Tires~~~~End result was smooth! Google Road Force Balance and watch video on why this is the best route. The Factory Road Force balances all Tires on new manufactured cars! All tires can slightly be out of round, this method of balancing helps determine where it is best to balance!
