You sure it's not from the right REAR wheels well? Could be a CV. If you are sure it's in the front- it has to be suspension related. Get it up in the air as soon as possible and look for anything broken or breaking!

Jack your car up, and turn the wheel you think it is back and forth and try to remake the "clunk." Will help you pinpoint where it is.

If it is the front it could be the control a-arm. Your ball joints maybe going bad I heard it would make that sound but not clunk clunk clunk it would only be once or twice when you turn. It could be the cv joints if it's not up front.

It is probably the ball joint(s) going bad. This is a very common problem and it does make a "clunk" sound.

Most likely a bad sway bar bushing. Cheap and easy to replace.
