Default Front Suspension Clunk

Over the past week or so, I've noticed the suspension has a very distinct "clunk" when going through the range on the steering wheel. In other words, backing out of a parking spot, or pulling out of one.. basically any situation that requires a sharp turn at speeds less than 10mph. It will make two or three very distinct clunks during one rotation of the steering wheel. Once the car is rolling, and after I've been driving a bit, the problem won't repeat itself. It ONLY occurs after the car has been sitting for several hours. It sounds like something is binding, but it seems to reason that a binding suspension component would bind at all temperatures, not simply when the car is ice cold or has been resting for a while.

Thoughts?
