Default I need Some knowledge!!!!!

I just bought a 2005 Dodge Magnum with a V8 Hemi(pretty sure they all have V8 Hemis) anyways I noticed that when im turning the wheel or coming to a stop at a higher speed there is a clunking noise on the driver side front wheel and also when coming to a sgop when getting to lower speeds it feels like there is a bubble in the tire but there isnt. Can anyone give me any suggestions and possibly an estimate on how much im goin to pay out of pocket thank you

Welcome
1. Nope not all of them all are hemis, hell not even most. 2.7 & 3.5 liter V6's were options and they sold more of those. Of course, with a car that heavy it really isn't worth getting either of the sixes lol.
2. Sounds like you've reached the age/mileage where it's time to rebuild the front suspension. You'll have to shop around for a cost estimate, everywhere is different.

Ooh! I have lot's of knowledge! For instance, let someone else grab the electric fence to see if it's on. Never lick a steak knife. Don't fry bacon in the nude. The inside of a toaster glows orange for a reason, don't stick a metal knife in there.

Seriously, how many miles on the car and the tires. The first thing I would do is jack the left front tire off the ground. Put a jack stand under it and then rotate the tire assembly. Look for a wobble of any other movement that isn't round. Can you wiggle the wheel? Does it wobble when you spin it? Watching the tread, does it move straight or does it have a wiggle to it. This will tell you if you have a bad bearing, bent wheel or separated belt in the tire.
