Default clunking noise

hey i got a 93 integra ls. and when i take a coner hard there is a loud constant clunking noise. the harder i take the coner the louder it is. also if i accelerate with the wheels turned it will make the noise.
im thinking its something with the axle.
if im not turning and floor it no noise will occur. and if im at a stop and try to turn the tires its really hard and the steering wheel jerks around
any ideas are helpfull thatnks

Axle, you are correct.

Mind you... asking people on the internet is not 100% going to give you the right answer. You'll have to take a look yourself. Try looking under the car at the axle on the side that is making the noise. Chances are you'll find a ripped axle boot with no grease left inside. That's a good sign your axle has now gone. No grease + noise = axle.

Yep.. Most likely axle..

Pull the wheel off and check the cv boots and see if grease is all slung around everywhere.. If so it's time to replace it..

Usually if you catch the axle as soon as the boot is busted you can get away with just replacing the boot, but the joint is already popping so that's not an option.

Check the tie rods and end links, mine went bad in my DC2 and it made the clunking noise in turns. The axles were fine.
