General Maintenance & Repairs - Clunking sounds

So I have a bone stock 1999 z28 and when I sit there and idle I hear like a clunking sound. It's not constant but it definitely comes in like a rhythm and sounds like its from the front.
Also, when I turn the wheel the car makes a clunking sound too, but I think they are unrelated.
Any advice on either?? Thanks in advance!

When you turn the wheel while driving you get a clunk? Or when the car is parked, it will clunk?

It's a 1999 car I would suggest you find someone competent to Inspect the front suspension. The Upper and Lower Control arm bushings may need replacing. If it's klunking when you hit the gas you might want to inspect the Motor Mounts also.

Is this something I can do myself? Or do I need to take it to a mechanic or something. Sorry I'm only 18 and broke lol

A shop should be able to give you a free estimate of what needs to be fixed.
