When I turn left can be on a smooth road or a rough road there is a 'clunking' or banging noise coming from what I think is the drivers side.
I have changed the anti-roll links and all the bushes look fine. There is no play in the steering rack, that I know of. There is no play in the wheels when jacked up.
I have had 2 mechanics that I know look at it and they can't see nothing obvious that it could be.

Has anyone come across this before or have any idea what this could be or what is causing it.

It pass the MOT in December and the only things mentioned were the pads and a tyre so I don't think it is making the car unsafe. As you can imagine it is just very annoying.

Any ideas will be appreciated. Cheers
