why does my front tire knock/clunk when I reverse?

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! That clunk you're feeling from your 2011 Ford Fusion’s front driver-side tire when reversing could be a sign of a suspension issue. It might be something like a worn ball joint, tie rod, or control arm bushing. These components allow the wheel to move, and when they wear out, they can knock when the suspension shifts, especially during reversing or hitting dips. It’s best to get it checked out before the clunk turns into something more serious—no one wants a wheel wobbling around!
