Clunking noise when turning

[wessexrfc]

I have been putting up with this for a while, but thought I should ask if any of you have had a similar problem. It makes a clunk, clunk noise when turning the wheel when parking, so at very low speed. As I parked it last weekend there seemed to be a delay, (only a split second)between me turning the steering wheel and the car actually turning, like play in the steering rack. I couldn't get it to do it again and the front wheels show no play at all. Will get it booked into SWLC, but just wondering if anyone has any pointers?? Cheers

check the Steering rack clamps, the rack may be moving, very loose bottom ball joint also makes a clunking noise.
