this just started happening.
when parked i turn the steering to my left, while turning it makes a thump noise one time. sounds like a bolt got loose. i straighten out steering wheel again and try turning it left, and again thump!. lol
im gonna jack up the car to see what it is, but can you guys give me ideas on what to look for. please try to be spacific because i do not know the suspension parts to well.

my guess is one bushing is decaying? and cause metal to hit metal when i turn.
im sure its a suspension problem on the front driver side.
