Strange noise under my car, what could it be?

Sometimes when I go around turns on the highway, or go over a bump I hear a "CLANK". It usually happens when I am turning the wheel, but it is becomming more frequent, any ideas as to what this might be? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Stabalizer will make a clunk if broken. Shocks or struts will bottom out if worn out. where is the noise comming from!

It is comming from under the front end. I'm thinking it could be my shocks/struts, but i'm not sure. What are some signs that they are going bad?
