Defective CV joint or bad wheel bearing.
If there is a clunking sound when turning a vehicle, the problem might be the ball joints in the front end. The ball joints help to support the A-Frame which helps to keep the wheel on and upright.
you MIGHT put a little more effort into your question - details &H specifics never hurt. in a front wheel drive car, bad , loose CV joints clunk upon turning.
Type your answer here... if it is a front wheel drive it could need c.v.Joint's. Just a thought
check your ball joints
When turning the wheel, a clunk means a tie rod or ball joint is worn out.
Also, Check for a bad motor mount The most likely cause is worn CV joints in the front two wheels. I'm assuming this is a front wheel drive model. The sound is usually most noticible when accelerating or decelerating while turning.
Buick makes a clunking sound from trans area when accelerating.
If it sounds like it's from one of the front wheels, you may have a worn out CV joint.
Have your tie rods and shock absorbers checked.
Hi I'm Patrick and I have a 1994 Plymouth Acclaim and that annoying clunking sound is coming from the rear wheels there's a bar that runs down the middle of the rail that holds the wheels together and when you go over a bump that bar smacks the canal it sits in and makes that sound so I just got my welder out and welded it to the canal to keep it from smacking.
I had this too and found the answer today...apparently LINK PINS!
Clunking/knocking sound felt though steering wheel and floor when turning and going over bumps at low speeds.
