You can only hear from the inside of the car. My S70 has 155k miles on it, and I started hearing a sound that's like something lifting or rocking when the front right tire goes over speed bumps or bumpy roads. Just on the right side. We've looked under the hood and crawled under the car but can find nothing. It's definitely situated in the right wheel area. Any ideas?

 

What type of sound is it making? Like an old wooden ship, like a baseball in a metal bucket, clunking, creaking?

If it's a little creaking, sometimes the sway bar bushings will make noise but you only hear that at real slow speeds.

 

Broken spring seat
Broken sway bar link
Bad control arm bushing

Take your pick, it will probably be one of these

 

Yes like a baseball in a metal bucket when going over bumps

 

That us usually the sway bar end links.

It might be the motor mount under the crankshaft pulley.
This is on the passenger side.

 

I doubt that it's the mount. Those mounts have rubber under them to avoid clanking noises when they are blown. They do cause vibration when blown but almost never noise.

 

When my mount went bad it made a clunk whenever I drove over a pothole.
