Terrible Clank Near Tires?

I bought a used Camaro, its a 2000 Z28, and now for some reason it makes a slight squeek and a clank clank noise in the front driver side wheel. The noise happens when i go over speed pumps and run cracked street asphalt, which never happened before i dont go crazy wiht this car, my brother says the suspension needs grease? HELP PLEASE!!!

The system is closed. Nowhere to grease.

Check for play or something loose.

Re: Terrible Clank Near Tires?

Check your bushings...
Check your ball joints...
Check your wheel bearings...
Check you end links...

These are things that can be examined by grasping the various parts and shaking... eg. grasp the tire at the top and try to move it back and forth, take hold of the end links and rotate/shake them...
