Default Clunk Clunk from right front suspension

When I turn right while accelerating there is a clunk clunk. Does any one know what could be making the sound? Is it ball joints, wheel bearings, bad struts or some thing else.

sounding like ball joints... does it make any sound when you back up and turn?

How are your sway bar bushings?

+1 on sway bar bushing. Mine acted like your car. An oil leak had softened and ruined the right hand bushing and it squeezed out of the bracket. The bar hit the bracket on turns. It was alarming until I knew what it was. Not a difficult repair and a bit less than $100 to replace all the rubber bushes.

Front right bushing gets oil and power steering fluid dripped on it. It is a nasty combo that very quickly eats it apart. Bushing are way cheaper than fixing the minor leak though.
