Every time I go over a or bump on my drivers side I get this clunk/thud sound, I think it's coming from the front and not the back. Also I notice if its raining out and I hit a puddle with my passenger front tire my car basically rips the wheel out of my hand and wants to pull extreme right (scares the carp out of me when it happens). I know when I'm in my jeep or any other car I can hit a puddle and they just keep on going mostly strait. So what do you guys think is wrong?

Thud/clunk could be a bad strut... that is the first thing I would check.

The pulling could just be a tendency of the tire, or a somewhat off alignment. Mine does it aswell, I just keep a death grip on the wheel when it's wet out.

Thats my $.02.

+1 on the alignment theory, but your noise could be a spring off its purch. jack it up and investigate asap, thats the front end were talkin bout here!!!
