Welcome to 2CarPros.

I hear it. Have you checked under the front left to make sure nothing is loose or broken? Based on what I hear, my first suspect is a broken or extremely loose stabilizer shaft link. I attached a picture of it. Also, the second pic shows how to replace it if you find it is bad.

Also, here is a link that explains how to check for front end noises, what they can be caused by, and general information. Take a look through it. It shows a stabilizer / sway bar link which is what I am referring to. However, this one is a little different in design compared to yours. Regardless, it does the same thing.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,
