Ball joints i'd bet. Is it only when you go over a bump, or anytime?

The most common seems to be ball joints, could be tie rod ends, sway bar bushings, control arm bushings, shocks, cv joints (if 4wd) or just about anything else in the front end. Take it back to the place where you had the work done last year and explain that the car is making noise and you think it might be a warranty issue. They should go through the front end and tell you that it's not the work they did (obviously) but they might tell you what is making the noise. That's alot easier than having all of us guess at what the problem is.

my right side torsion bar mount cracked on me a while back. but i didnt find that untill some time later because to me the sound( loud clunk on turns espescially) seem to be in the front end, so finally when i went to make sure my cat was still tight(new) i pushed the bar and wouldn't you know it a cracked mount. took all bout 20 mins and 13. dollars to fix no more front end clunk.
