Clunk

The car was dropped with the Eibach Pro Kit about 5700 miles ago...I just hit 39k miles, and put on brand new Dunlop sport A2s. So far so good...
until last night, I started hearing the dreaded "clunking" sound coming from the front passenger side of the car. I would only hear it when I'm
turning left on curves particularly going 30+ mph. After reading from endless amounts of threads about that problem, Seems like
it would be quite an expensive fix. I'd rather not get ripped off by some mechanic so I would like to be able to fix it myself, but I'd need
lots of help. With the different possible things that could have gone wrong (CV, bearings, strut mount, or just metal hitting metal)
Where would I start to diagnose the problem? I've also been thinking about replacing my struts anyway...The only thing is, I don't want my ride to
get more harsh...The eibachs with stock struts are enough. Oh yeah, back to my problem...is it safe to drive around with that clunking sound?

Thanks alot!
