Sorry to bump this (It's a testament to my use of the search button!)
I am having this problem, but it sounds like it is coming out of the right side of the car, and mostly when turning to the left. And, it is rather loud (it freaked out this one woman walking several feet in front of my car as I was parking it in a tight spot). I first thought I hit the curb. It was rather loud.
I checked it today. The CV boots are fine, and the fluid level is fine. The belt is in good condition. The problem emerged yesterday afternoon, rather suddenly. I even avoided driving it to class (an hour-long commute).
If it means anything, there is a slight "moan" when I have the steering wheel to the stop.
And the clunk is felt throughout the car. The steering wheel gets kinda hard to turn, then it releases (CLUNK!-CLUNK!-CLUNK!).
