The lower control arm bushings are bad and have grease leaking from them. I never knew what was causing clunking and rattling noises over bumps and rough roads for the last 2 years/20k miles until now. It costs $150 for new arms to replace myself or I can pay someone to press out the old bushings and press in new bushings, but the control arms have to come out to do replace bushings anyways, so I'll probably just replace the whole arms myself. Car now has 80k miles.
