i am hearing a loud clunk clunk noise coming from my front left side everytime i hit a bump. it feels like my tire is just bouncing up & down really fast all the time. Also when i am on the highway doing about 60-80 mph the front end shakes really bad. almost to where it feel like my dash board if going to fall off. but if i go past 80 it smooths back out. any ideas what this could be
 
If it's as bad as you make it sound it could be a blown strut. 50-70 seem to be close to the resonance frequency for the wheels/suspension from my experience.
 
ya its real bad even the slightest movement it makes the sound. it also squeks real bad. even if i push down on the front end u can hear the strut squek
