Got clunking sound while turning the wheel. Happens when the car is idle and when in motion.

Have someone else turn the wheel, should find the noise in 10 seconds. Just a guess is control arm bushings.

I did that and could not pinpoint the noise. It did kind of sound like it was coming from the driver side.

I purchased lower control arms and a new drag bar with both ends. Once I replace that I can see if the noise persists.

If your hearing is bad like mine, a piece of vacuum hose put up to your ear and the other end on or near a part helps a lot. Get more sophisticated and get a mechanics stethoscope, I have that too. Concentrate on the joints of the suspension not the whole part.

The video is tough for me to make out, I'm not good with sideways videos, but it seems your whole axle is moving side to side a lot. CA bushings or maybe trac bar mounting point.
