Front end clunk

I'm having a strange clunk at highway speeds that starts out and then goes away, I do notice that my car pulls a little to the left as well. I've checked under the car and can't find anything that looks loose. I'm lowered on swifts btw.

If your car is pulling to the left it may be because your tires are low on air.

My tire pressure does look a little low on the driver side front. But still doesn't explain the noise.

What do you mean "looks a little low"

Don't you check your tires with a good quality tire pressure gauge once a week?

It's at 32 vs 35 on the others. But I don't see any signs of it leaking. I'm thinking the shop must not have aired it up enough, these are my duckfeet for winter.

Alright so I checked all the tire pressure and everything is fine with that. For a little bit there is a thump noise that is metal on metal and the car pulls to the left and the steering wheel feels loose, after a little bit there's a pop sound and the car drives straight and the steering wheel tightens up. This is getting confusing!

Just to be safe, check all your lug nuts. Then, I'd definitely check your subframe mounts (fr & rr) and your steering rack and tie rods. Next would be your brakes.
