Front end noise

I have a 2020 MS and sometimes when I turn ( doesn’t matter whether it’s left or right) I hear a clunking noise coming from the front end.
Just wondering, if that could be caused by inner tie rod displacement , rack and pinion or half shafts ? Or could it be something else completely?

Thanks in advance

Is your MS still under warranty? If so, have service check it out. We can only speculate here.

I just had a similar situation.
Heard a knock from the right front wheel area at low speed when going over a bump, but only when turning left.
Service replaced my right upper control arm (U shape). No more knock.
Those have zero protection under there, so they're exposed to all the road hazards. The cover can wear and crack easily, exposing the bearing, which then gets road grime in it, and it's lights out.

But as EVRider said, it's still just speculation on my part. Probably's and actuals aren't always the same.
