It sounds like there may be a problem with your suspension. However, without a diagnosis it's very hard to pinpoint the issue. We recommend visiting your local Kia dealership service department and have one of our qualified mechanics run proper tests on your car.

It may have a damaged upper control arm bushing, which is very common on the passenger side from running into a curb while parking. The bushings themselves are fairly inexpensive, unless you encounter a dishonest mechanic (which is also pretty common)

it could be a loose strut, maybe a bushing on the sway bar is shot ! tell your mom to have the front end checked out from someone she can trust !

You'll have to let a pro get it on a lift & see what he finds.

My moms 2010 Kia forte has recently started making a weird sorta knocking or ticking noise; only on any size bump. Specifically front passenger side wheel. Any idea of what it could be maybe suspensions are worn ?
