I have a 1/96 EF Futura that has travelled 155,00 klm, it hasn't been driven hard and is well cared for and driven gently. I have noticed that when going over speed humps or like obstacles that a "clunk or knock" seems to come from the right side front suspension. This only happens if the speed hump is driven over a little faster than crawling speed. The noise is not real loud however I notice it. I have heard it a few other times when going over potholes etc. Any ideas of where to start looking. One other thing the side the noise appears to come from is out of alignment as the tyre is wearing on the outer edge. Thank's in advance for any advice.

Sounds like a lower ball joint worn out. Get your front end checked out.
