clunking with speed of car

i hear and feel a clunking coming from my drivers side front wheel. it gets faster with the car speed and then on the autobahn it goes away. at low speeds its very noticeable. when turning left slowly you can also hear it and feel it. i dont see grease on anything, so im wondering if its a wheel bearing or ball joint. im hoping nothing serious because cash is ultra limited.

i bought this car used with 41k on the clock last week. i also noticed the suspension is really bouncy and makes noise like the shocks are blown

Its not a cheap car to upkeep.

Sounds like blown strut. Could be wheel bearing, tie rod, ball joints, axle.

Take to a good shop for service.
