MY99 making a noice when going over bumps
I've got a 99 Impreza turbo, and has been running excellent, but just started to notice its making a clonking kind of sound on front left hand wheel, when i go over speed bumps or bumps in the road. It drives really smooth still and wouldn't notice it at speed. Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

What Blue Dragoon said, plus...
Before you jack it up to check, make sure that the damper top nut is tight. If you have OE shocks this will mean removing the cover in the top mount. Also, when you take the wheel off, examine the driveshaft nut and check that the staking is still over the groove in the shaft. If it isn't this implies that the nut has loosened and you'll need to tighten it back to the correct torque (186Nm) and stake it back down more firmly.
