low speed clunking in stop & go traffic

i was wondering if this was something normal. in low speed, it's like something is "clunking" in stop and go traffic but fine when moving or on the freeway. sometimes it makes this noise when I'm turning the steering wheel as well. Thanks.

This could obviously be 1000 things, and I'd suggest that you just check your front end for looseness. You know, yanking on the physical wheels to see if the bearings or ball joints or tie rod ends are shot.

But typically, it's your downpipe clanging on something (T-Case).

Does it sound like it's coming from the rear end? I know after STM put new rear-end fluid in my car, (something thicker), it clunks. They said that is normal at low speeds.

Check all the bolts on the suspension system. If the bolt on you control arm goes missing, you can get this sound.
