Suspension clunking.
Clunking sound mostly coming from the right side in the front. Clunking sound appears when going over or going in potholes. I noticed clunking exiting a roundabout where the surface was smooth, so it also clunks when cornering.
The car has to go through inspection in december, i want to fix it or get it fixed by then.
What should i check first?

if the car does a 180 in a wet roundabout while at 12 MPH, your shocks are shot
