Left Front of Civic making noise

I was wondering if anybody could help figure this out... I have a 1998 Honda Civic DX H/B, about 1.5/2 months ago I started hearing a noise from the front left of the car everytime I am moving and turning all the way to the right. I seems to be a clanging noise, like something is hitting the front brake disc shield (the metal plate behind the front disc). I have removed the pads and the disc and inspected and put back together. Any ideas? Thank you

It could be a CV joint.
Is there any vibration when you turn or is it just the noise?
Did this noise start suddenly or did you just start to notice it two months ago?

Sounds like it could be a CV joint. But CV joints usually "click" rather than "clang".

RE: Left Front of Civic making noise

check -
drop-links,
anti-roll bar bushings,
wishbone bushings/bearings

is this noise just when you take off/stop, is it there when you're driving (or hit a bump)?
