My Santa Fe(2007) has clunking sounds when moving slowing over bumps but goes away under normal speeds?

Have the steering and suspension systems inspected at a tire and alignment shop. Common causes are loose brake pads and worn anti-sway bar links. Neither of those are terribly serious but they can be annoying. Suspect the brake pads if the noise stops when you apply light pressure to the brake pedal. Suspect the links if the noise stops when turning slightly either way.
