rear brakes are sticking get it serviced

Does the noise only occur at or above a specific speed? I'm hoping for your sake that one of the plastic fender liners or under carriage covers have come loose and are flapping in the wind or against the wheel when you pick up speed? If a tight turn instigates it then my thinking is that the dislodged cover is caught by the wheel at full turn (the clunk) and then flaps and rubs while you drive?

if rear wheel drive check the prop-shaft the universal joints may be loose.

check the sway bar links

Your CV joint may have failed and and will need to be replaced. Inspect the left and right CV joints for any signs of damage. Cv joints are the left and right axle from the transmission to the left and right front wheels.
Thank you for using fixya and be safe.

sounds like either a sway bar end link or shock, more towards the end link tho

Loud roaring sound in front right wheel area. It sounds like my front driver wheel is flat and hitting metal..I had tires checked they are fine. It sounds like clunk, clunk and clunk..

It gets louder the faster you go and has gotten worse at lower speeds over the past month. Its a front wheel drive SUV and I had the bearings changed out last month. It is loud as all get out
