2004 Saturn Vue w/30,000 miles. When I turn right or left I get a clunking noise from front end.

No idea exactly what your asking

Obviously something quit working or
broke & your going to have it towed
somewhere to get looked at.

Keep in mind you own a vehicle & the company
is out of business,so don't stay attached too long

your serpentine belt broke

I'm sorry to disagree with your mechanic,but it sounds to me like your rotors are warped.I would go ahead and replace rotors and pads with an estamated 5k sounds like they are thin.

I have a clunking noise in the front of my 06 saturn vue , all front end parts are ok

I have a 2002 saturn vue. Same thing..sounded like a jet engine ...loud humming as I accelerated . It got increasingly worse. It turned out to be the front wheel bearings. Replace them, now the noise is half as loud...have to do the rears also! 93,000 miles on it. Also, don't forget to replace the timing belt. It it goes too long and breaks, it will trash the engine...

we have a 2003 saturn vue which we installed new tires on and we noticed a noise about 6 months afterwards. it sounded to my wife and i to be loud road noise from the tires. the car was driven for 6 months and we decided the noise was annoing. had the tires checked only to find it was the left front wheel bearing which was replaced and stopped the noise.

I would suspect the wheel bearing, as these start to fail they tend to make more noise in one direction of load than the other.

Vues are bad for having all hub bearings make noise,check your rear ones.Or the ones you didn't have replaced.If it's all wheel drive check the propshaft center carrier bearing.Common to fail & make noise.hope this helps

the most common source of rattles is the exhaust system and the shocks being loose.

its possbel the front right wheel barring need replace
