Clunky front end?

[OhLissy]

Hey all,

I just got a 2000 4x4 Explorer Sport :exp: and love it, but it's making a very loud "clunk" noise when I stop completely. Anybody know what this might be from, and maybe how much it is to fix?

Thanks...

Possibly tranny or u-joints. Start with u-joints they are cheaper. could be ball joints or tie rods as well.

Thank you!

In addition to the clunk, the vehicle shakes terribly, and practically bounces at speeds higher than 55 MPH... if that helps narrow it down any more.

wheel bearings i would think. could be ball joints and/or tie rods.
