I am a new owner of a '99 Cobra Convertible. 40,000 original miles. Well cared for, I thought. I have been getting increasing amounts of noise from the front suspension as I drive over cracks and holes in the pavement. It sounds like rattling or banging metal. Could this be worn Ball Joints? Other causes? I don't have the location to do much of the work myself. How involved would the repair be and what am I looking at if I take it to a garage?

Additionally, I get a subtle clunk from the drivetrain when I engage and disengage the clutch. Is this Universals?
