Try posting what it's doing or not doing. Sounds, vibrations, details about what's going on, what you've done to figure it out etc.
That way you may be able to fix it or at least diagnose it & have ideas about what has to be done to correct the issue. Research on here on that particular issue would probably lead you to fix it.

Your not too far away from me. I go to 109-u-pull-it over in Thomasville some, but they are a bit pricey.

So when your in the middle of a turn, you hear it clunk? That does sound like it is the cv joint. Does it clunk when turning right but not left? Vice versa? Or does it clunk when turning either way?

OK, I'd say lift up the front end & wriggle the tire. If the tire moves more than the axle shaft, then it's the CV joint that's bad. Try holding the axle shaft still & have someone move the tire to isolate the issue. Again same conclusion but if the CV joint is ok (doesn't move) then the axle is the issue or something in the front differential.

Does it make more noise at full turn, forward or back? If it does I'd say CV joint. You're sure it's coming from the front & not a U joint by the trans or at the rear diff?

At least this gives you ideas or an idea as to WTF is going on lol. The more info you provide the more people will get an understanding & possibly help out.
