Whats that noise?!?!?!?!?

Okay, so when I brake, and sometimes when i turn the wheel (left or right), there is this clunking thud of a sound right under my feet. I can actually feel the vibrations made on the floorboard. What the hell is it? I figured it was something draggins, but no, its not. what could it be? any ideas????

Thanx

Does this only happen at parking lot speeds? I've noticed this happening with my car recently at slow speeds. I have no idea what it is though..anyone?

Same boat here

I've noticed a thunking sound coming from the front end. Sounds like it's in the suspension. We've had this topic here before where people have talked about a bad strut mount or something of that nature. Have to go to the shop and get it checked I think. There is a TSB for the 2000's. I'll try and find it here.

Being you can feel it on the floor boards, it could be a brake issue or a lower control arm bushing.
