Re: ANYBODY PLEASE----MY ROCCO IS DYING!!!!!!!!!

I think you might have a CV joint going bad.  Usually when they are clunking 
that much, you've got only a few miles before the joint completely breaks.  
If one of the joints has a cracked boot, you can bet that's the one that's 
gone.  Otherwise jack up one side of the car and spin that wheel by hand, 
feeling for the binding of the joint.  This way you can tell which side bad. 
  I would bet that it's an inner joint because those seem to wear more.

HTH,
