Clunking sound?????

[chopperdude]

Need some sugestions, please. I have a 99 sportsman 500. Whem I'm riding and I hit a good sized rock or bump, I hear a clunk sound front left side, everything looks ok , but I just started looking. Was just wondering if it sounded familiar to anyone, thanks

check the ball joints. grab the top of the wheel and try to shake it back and forth. if it moves and feels loose it is a ball joint issue. i just replaced mine on my '10 850
