Clunking sound from front suspension

When I turn right or left or go over speed bumps I hear a clunking sound coming from my suspension. Does anyone else have this or does anyone know what it might be. It just started the other day and of course I am 3k miles out of warranty.

check your suspension bolts. Could be something stupid and simple as a bolt missing.

check to make sure your lug nuts are tight. when i first lowered my car i took it for a spin and everything seemed fine. after 2 days i started to here clunks on slow bumps (like driveways) from the pass. front and it slowly started to get worst. so after about a week i took the wheel off to see what the problem is. i notced the the lugnut spun off pretty easy, still snug but not tight. everything else checked to be torqued on right. so i put the wheel and lugnuts back on tight and i havent herd a clunk.

Well, I took off my wheels and checked; everything appeared fine. I checked my sway bars and they needed to be re torqued. After I put everything back together I took it out for a test and the noise is gone. Could have been to sways or the lug nuts, either way the noise is gone. Thanks for the help.
