When I am either turning left or right, sometimes just driving straight, I hear a clunking noise coming from the right front passenger side. I have replaced both cv joints and two motor mounts and still hear the noise. Any ideas on what the problem is?

Hello,

The best course of action would be to inspect the suspension components.
Check the lower ball joints for excessive play. Also, the bushings for the control arm.
Worn strut mount/bushing can also make this type of noise. Check the sway bar links, these are prone to go bad.

Here is a helpful guide that covers the typical noise issue:

Go thru this guide and let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
