What is the clanging sound?

Please help me out. Today, I was in my parking lot making a k-turn. When I turned the steering wheel as far to the left, there was this horrible rubbing, clanging and clunking sound. I tried again and there it was. However, when I turn all the way to the right, this doesn't happen.

Any prognosis? I thought about CV joint and boots but sounds too "mechanical".

i'd have to guess and say it's a three point turn but that doesn't sound right. and yeah it's probably a cv join. it shouldnt be too much to fix.
