My 1997 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport (170,000m) has been sitting for four months, it was driven weekly the first three months but then due to battery issues it wasn't driven for about a month. Everything was pretty good with the frame when I left it made squeaking noises when I went over large speed bumps, but thats about it. When I picked it up I noticed the front right tire was a little low so I went to get air in it. In driving there (about .5 miles) it felt like the front right tire was completely flat. It was making a clunking noise and it was somewhat hard to steer. When I checked the tire and filled it it wasn't very low which surprised me. I filled all the tires and drove home and the whole way it still felt flat and made a loud clunking noise. I stopped halfway and checked the tires and they were all fine. I'm wondering what this noise may be and what I can do to fix it.

Check ball joints and steering components. Also, check all sway bar bushings, control bushings...
