Default Help? Clunking when turning?!

So, not every time, but sometimes when I turn, something on my front end makes a nice clunk noise. It almost sounds like metal on metal. Also, sometimes when I am on the gas and let off the gas abruptly it makes the same noise. I'm thinking I may be my CV joint, but what else could it be? Or maybe a motor mount? It just started resently. Oh, I do have coilovers, but I don't think it's the spring shifting, but it could be.

a single clunk or continious? The motor mounts would usually make a sound on acceleration, not in turns.

Friend of mine has a grand am that does that...his is the U-Joint in the steering column. He ran up a median, and it's been messed up ever since.

Well, i forgot to update this, I found out it was my transmission. I'm replacing it with a B000 (96-98 EX tranny D16Y8). I'm excited!!
