For the past couple weeks I've been hearing a clunk when making tight turns and as long as I hold the wheel in that tight turn it continues to "clunk." Is this a suspension issue with the upper and lower control arms/bushings/ball joints? I did some research and this seemed to be the likely culprit but the guy who had the same problem had 50k miles.

I bought this car with 11k miles and I really baby it, in fact I've only floored it a couple times. The one thing I've neglected to do was get it aligned, could this have contributed to the clunking problem?

thanks for any advice.
