    Repair help pleaseee

    I have a 1998 dodge durango lately it has been making a knocking noise on the front rightside.  when going over bumps in the road such as potholes ,traintracks and speedbumps it does't make this noise all the time but I went from hearing once a week to at least once a day.I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the problem sounds like.

    Thank you

    that could be anything from a shock to a bad ball joint, to a failing wheel bearing, or loose lug nuts,, could be a lot of things,, your ball joints are on the upper and lower control arms if you jack it up and grab the wheel move it back and forth you'll know if there bad because you will see them move and feel it.. there are greease cirts on these they are supposed to be greased periodicly,, if its them it might be to late to grease them.. might just be a faulty  shock..  you might want to get them checked,,, if they go completley you will loose control of your vehichle,(hense the term  control arms)  they control your front tires,, also check your tie rods, they also have joints that need to be greased,,  also check the botls that secure the control arms to the frame.  take it to the shop..  you said its doing it more now that means somthing is failing..

    you know it could just be a  suppport bar for the bumber coming loose,, hopefully its just a bad shock absourber,,  not trying to make it like its all bad i'm not there,,  just letting you know of some things it COULD be not saying its those just some things  for you to check,,

    Can anyone help me?

    My car suddenly stopped and I can't open it again.

    It's not the overheated engine that has caused it...

    Just take it to the nearest mechanic. Just watch out for that steamy radiator okay? Good luck!
