"clunking" sound near front driver's side wheel
 

I'm driving a 2001 Blazer LS 2dr 2WD Auto Trans...I'm noticing a "clunking" sound in in the front-end on the drivers side. It occurs when I make turns (mostly left turns) and it's especially noticable when making a left turn up a curb (i.e. pulling into my driveway).

I've also noticed if I get out and push up and down on the hood I can hear a creaking sound whenthe carbounces (related?).

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys!

I've had two cars (rear wheel drive) with your exact symptoms. Both had a loose nut on the control arm shaft - to -frame bolt. They looked tight but a proper tightening with a torque wrench eliminated the clunk.
Good luck.
