I've got a 96 GXE. Lately, when I'm making low speed turns, like turning from one road to another, there is a constant clunking sound coming from the driver's side wheel area. Could this be bad CV joints? It does it when I am on the gas or coasting. Thanks.

 

CV joints would be a likely possibility. Are your CV dust boots torn, allowing water and dirt into the joints? You might also check wheel bearings, brake parts, make sure lug nuts are not loose.

 

Maybe the CV is still salvageable if it is only making occasional clunking at low speed hard cornering...? Clean up, new boot and repack grease...?
If it is making a clicking clunking all the time then it is probably more screwed.

 

if there are cluncking i would replace them.

 

I have simillar problems with my 97 GXE the dealer told me I need to replace the strut mounts.

 

You will have to pin point the area of concern yourself . . . .
If it only happens while you are making a turn - cv joints.
If it happens everytime you drive even over the smallest bumps - ball joint, strut mount.
If it happens while straightening the steering wheel after a turn - strut mount, strut bearings
