Default poping/clunk sound while turning

I own a 96 LT1 Coupe that has a poping sound coming from i think the front end of the car. It only makes the sound while making a sharp turn to the left. It also usually does it while I am on the brakes a little. Any ideas on what this might be?

Check for play in your wheel bearings,control arm bushings,sway bar brackets and tie rod ends.
And check caliper guide pins and bracket.

:iagree: I would pay particular attention to sway bar bushings and end links.

Have you done or had done any front end work recently?
