Default klunking noise in front of car, help please

Ok heres what happens:

When driving, i let off the gas and hear a loud klunking noise, which gets loud if i turn to the left, and quiet if i turn to the right. But as i said, this is only while my foot is not on the gas, doesnt matter if its in gear or not. My thoughts were wheel bearing.

I'm guessing it's manual? It doesn't make the noise while stationary? Does it make the noise while moving in neutral?

Check your engine mounts and axles. There's a ton of stuff that could be causing that klunk noise, but I'd start at the mounts and axles. Also check the bushings in your control arms.

I just had new cv shafts put on not long ago. Does not make noise while while stationary, sound gets faster as car gets faster

Check your bearings, as well as your mounts. Mounts are an easy visual check. For bearings, jack up the front end and try to wiggle the wheel up and down, as well as left and right. If it has noticeable movement up and down, check your ball joints. If it has noticeable movement left and right, check your bearings and tie rods.
