could be your drive axel or drive shaft same thing. when taking corners does it clunk is it drivable at all.If you work on it yourself you ned to remove the strut and nuckel as a unit.change the ball joint tie rod end and drive axel in Canadian $ about 180.00 take the unit to a shop for a new strut trust me on that one.check the weel bearing to it needs to be pressed in and out oh ya the strut bearing should be done as well.big buks alot of time good luck
