So, my car usually clunks over bumps and what not. No matter the speed, and it’s not only when turning. It’s a pretty bad clunk. But I was driving home at about 35 MPH, and it sounded almost like something may have broken, and the car got super shaky, and I had to stay under 30 MPH to get home. I just went and looked under the car and saw nothing hanging down or out of place. The alignment is bad, and I noticed my driver side tire is worn on just the sides almost bald. Middle of tire is fine.

If the engine is running okay it sounds like the CV axles need to be replaced. here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:
