What can cause a clunk over bumps?
Several parts can make similar sounds, including bushings, links, mounts and steering joints. Mention whether it happens over every bump or only when turning.
Can you check steering play or pulling?
The shop lists steering and suspension work. Tires and alignment can also affect how the car tracks, so describe what changed and when.
Will I need an alignment after suspension work?
It depends on the parts replaced and the vehicle. Ask whether the estimate includes an alignment check or adjustment.
Good care.
