I have a 1997 toyota prado rv model. few weeks ago it started clunking when i turn right, dosent seem to do it everytime only on sharp turns, i think and maybe when there is a bit of body roll. only happens on right turns on the front drivers side. it started after hitting a large pot hole very very hard. i have had a look cant see anything broken or loose but i really wouldnt kno what to look for. Any Ideas??? has this happened to anyone else. Im also lookin at puttin a 2inch lift in anyone had any problems or tips i can use for later on
 
have you managed to find the problem?? iam having the same issue as of lately.... i get the sound only when i make complete turn of the steering wheel on either side....
 
Bridget, it sounds like yiou've damaged the cv joint, take it to 2 or 3 different mechanics and tell them about the noise, make it sound as if your have a problem that you want "them" to fix if 2 or all of them say the same thing then you've found the problem, I did it today about a problem with my gearbox. If it is the cv then it's a prob that can be fixed in your garage and not the mech shop.
