I seem to be experiencing a loud knocking noise from the front end, which so far is only happening when letting my foot off of the gas after acceleration...I was told it could be cv joint, but i was wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this?

Noise can be from:
- front suspensions arm, ball joints
- brakes
- driveshafts

going over speed bumps it feels loose and I can hear clunking!

if its in the engine bay then its probably you using low quality/ grade gas. if you using 91, then it could be some of the stated above, if your using like 89 or 87 try using 91 might fix it.

no no, i use 94 octane...it's not coming from the engine; it's coming from the driver-side tire area...i just bought some coil-overs, so maybe now is a good time to get the job done!

QT

added to the loose feeling in the front end...it feels like the car is sliding when turning sharply in the parking lot!

do you say that because of the rattling, or because of the gliding effect when turning?

get your whole control arms replaced. When was it last done? Some places who does wheel alignment will check all those before performing anything, and they wont do anything until you get it fixed.
