Mechanical “clunk” noise when turning in either direction

Exact same sound and issue here. Dealer has ordered some parts. I will post when I have an update and if the parts actually fix the problem.

Argh. So frustrated. Car was at the dealer for 6 days. They still have no clue what is wrong with it and are asking me to pick it up while Hyundai tries to figure it out.... if anyone figures this out please let me know!
 
Nigel in UK reported that his dealer has "jiggled the driveshaft", which has improved it, but waiting for (unspecified) parts now.
Mine seems to be getting worse - sometimes get two clunks when moving off
 
Its first 2500 miles was as a dealer demonstrator, so it probably had more than its fair share of short journeys and slow turns.
hard to say but the sound is definitely "external" - i.e. you hear it through an open window, and I think, but am not certain, that it happens on different sides at different times. It's definitely associated with the travel direction, not steering, i.e. you hear it after steering, as you move off.
 
Sounds almost like it could be an issue with the MacPherson strut at the front... There's a bearing in there that allows the wheel to steer, it almost sounds like that's got a severe case of stick-slip. Could be caused by the strut being constantly subjected to a higher load than in the fossil Konas (assuming they don't suffer from the same issue). Otherwise it could be the CV joints, but I find it unlikely that the wheel bearings have anything to do with it, since then it should happen during high speed cornering rather than in parking lots at a walking speed.

God I miss Car Talk.
