Default Clunking Sound

This is going to be a bit vague, but I have a clunking sound coming from the left front end of my 2012. Example, when I turn the steering wheel to the right to pull into my driveway, the clunking sound occurs. Recently, when I turn left or right, I get the clunking sound in the same place. It does not make the sound at any other time. Anybody have ideas on what this could be before I take it back to the dealership? I like to try and find info. before taking it in for service so I don't get jerked around. Thanks for any info.

Although I won't know for sure unless I see it for myself, sounds like upper strut mounts. Mine did the same thing, same symptoms (but I also had my balljoints go bad, too). It's just kind of hard to fathom that yours are going bad so soon since it's a 2012. Mods?

Thank you for the info. It is aggravating since I had the car built by Ford in August and already it is giving me the clunking problems. Only reason I bought the car was because I heard Ford had become much more reliable than in the past. Now I'm beginning to wonder if I made an expensive mistake.
I have not made any Mods. to the car except Corsa Axel backs, and I don't drive it aggressively.

Thank you for posting the link. I hope I didn't make an expensive mistake in thinking/hearing Ford had become more reliable than in past years.
