a) tie rod check... with wheel off ground try to wiggle
wheel horizontal to the ground, excessive movement or
clunking you got it, maybye.

b) ball joint... try to wiggle same wheel in vertical axis,

if both a & b and wiggles at 45° also, probably wheel
bearing

c) outer cv Clicks in sharp turns (inner cv (rare) click on
accell/decell)

d) strut bearing... clunk over uneven roads, sidewalks,
etc.

e) loose wheel lugs, loose axel nut, loose caliper, loose
brake pads, etc... you get the point... 

good luck.
