They're known to die and cause a knocking/clunking sound when starting or stopping (any time the weight of the vehicle is either pushed forward or pulled away).
Usually it's the rear of the two front control arm bushes. The front one tends to last a very long time. But you should also check them on their end caps that they're not broken.
Do a search on this board and you'll find a lot of postings on how to change these bushes. They're readily available from site sponsors and can be had in either rubber or poly. Not too difficult to DIY; just a lot of parts to remove to get the control arm off the car. Definitely do both sides if attempting this task.
