Clunk noise coming from my car

So every since i moved to cali, ive been getting this clunk noise coming from the front right side of my car. I have 19in wheels/coilovers and i know its harsh on cali roads/Hwys. At low speeds especially when im backing out of my drive way i can hear a clunk noise as i turn my wheel. When im driving under 10MPH I also hear the noise, when im dead stop at a stop light and began to accelerate i hear a clunk sounds, but noise goes away after like 10mph. My car has 25k miles. It seems like it could be the bearing, axle,cv joints, or something on those lines. Has this happened to anyway, or anyone know what might seems to be wrong? Thank you and have a nice day.

Mine did that after I installed my coilovers because I need longer swaybar links.

You had the same problem? It wasnt the cv joints? How much did it cost you?

Well, I haven't fixed it yet. Replacements run about $160 and about 30 minutes of my time to replace. I MAY have other problems but too short of sway links is 100% causing the thump I hear when I hit a bump when I turn (even the slightest bump). The sway bar is totally out of position. Handling is also greatly affected.

Yea, i just check under my cv joints arent leaking. I hear the thump when im turning or dead stop and accelerating. my car drives good just the thump. Do you go with a after market sway link?

HP Autowerks has a nice description of WHERE the sway bar end should sit to be considered in the proper location. I am going to buy from here when I free up a few extra bucks.
