Could possibly be the steering rack moving from side to side as you turn the wheel.... Something like this tho I would recommend taking it to your trusted mechanic to diagnose as we cannot diagnose something we cannot hear

have you got coilovers / Front Camber kits?

Crappy coilovers with the camber tops are shit. the springs move and you hear clunking /other noises as you turn the steering to either left or right full lock. I.E G4's, D2's, K-Pros etc. (from experience)

if its not your CV joints then something is loose or your have a loose sussy bushing/mounts.

take your car to a suspension place, I.E Pedders, they do a great deal in sussy inspections like 100+ points check and they will tell you exactly what is wrong. Unlike mechanics they are often limited to what they know, but a proper sussy place will direct you to the right light of path!
