is it when you're steering wheel is at full lock?
or just normal going around corners?

wheel bearing mate

hmm I'm not sure then, if it was when the wheels were at full lock I would have said it could possibly be the suspension which tends to clunk sometimes when going into full lock.
never experienced any noise in normal going around corners

mate did on his forda ka, clunking when he turnd left, it was the wheel bearing mate, if its on coilovers or possibly springs then it will be the coilover spring clunking as its under alot of stress!
