Default 2008 Pacifica Front passenger side grinding/clunking

Just bought a used Pacifica, I love my car, but the right front tire area is making noises as I turn and get up to speed. It's a combo of slight grinding as I turn left and as if I don't have a shock on that side to take impact small bumps.

Anyone else have this issue?

You need to get it up on a hoist and take a good look at what's going on there. It could be many things, including a bad bearing, loose lug nuts, bad ball joint, etc. Don't wait until something breaks or it'll cost a lot more to fix it. When your car makes complaining noises, it's trying to tell you something.

Check the right side half shaft. This a typical noise they make the constant velocity joint goes bad.
