Default Knocking noise sometimes when turning coming from front end

1989 jeep xj,

I know there has probably been a thread or two about this but was just wondering what exact component this would be. Just so I don't have to keep changing out parts without actually knowing what it is. Sometimes, when I turn my wheel I heard a clunk coming from my front end. It only happens every 5-10 turns of the wheel. I feel like it's coming from my drivers side. Any help would be great


Thanks

Will need more info and you will need to have a look under your jeep for starters.
Have a buddy turn the steering wheel while you check for play, wobbling, binding etc.
Does is happen in 2wd or 4wd? And turiing lone side only or eft and right?

2wd and it's just when I turn the wheel to the left. I feel like there's play somewhere.
