Hi. I'm Chris. I'm new to the tune world and just got a 2008 Speed 3. I hearing a funny clunk coming from passenger side front end. It's driving me crazy! I looked at notorious motor mount next to wheel well and it looks good. Could it be the struts/shocks? How can I tell?

Read, search, read - then read some more. This has been covered before.

Clunks up front can come from struts, strut hats, sway bar bushings, end links, CV axle, wheel bearings, etc. in that order. Search for those and see if you can narrow it down.

If you have stock suspension my best guess would be endlinks. Buy MOOG's which are fairly cheap and a little beefier. You'll have the peace of mind of new endlinks and your clunking might go away.
