Alright guys...Whenever I take right turns I hear this noise coming from my drivers side front wheel well. It's like a CLUNK, CLUNK, CLUNK, but it stops as soon as I stop turning the wheel. Also, whenever I turn my car either way I hear this very big CRRREEEEKKK and it comes from both the front wheel wells. Both of the noises are horrible and I get looks from everyone...too bad it's not the kind of looks that I want. For some background, I have my car lowered around 2.5 inches with some KYB coilovers, which was done before I bought the car. The stock shocks are still on the car and I have no camber kit. The wheels are still stock. I am looking at getting some adjustable shocks in the near future so I won't be riding on my bump stops any longer. Any ideas on the noises? Costs for the repairs? Thanks guys, help is appreciated as always.
 
There are three sets of parts that move when you turn the steering wheel (not counting the steering wheel itself and the other wheels): The rack and tie rods, the ball joints and the cv joints. Of these, the most likely seems to be your cv joints. But I wouldn't rule out the others.
