My car makes a clunking nose when I drive over bumpy parts of the road, or even in slightly bumpy parts. It's like a knocking, clinking sound. It seems like it's coming from the driver's side to middle of the car or somewhere there about. I know the shocks and struts are good. And all the wheels and brakes have been checked and they all seem good. Can you help?

Check the strut plates, ball joints, and sway bar links.

Let me know what you find.
