About where is this occurring? I had a similar experience with a bad axle. Check the boots?
Check your sway bar bushings. They are most expensive (NOT) at less than $10/set and will take less than 30 min to install.
So

Sound like the steering every time I hit a bump or trim the wheel left to right there a clunky noise had the axle look at there good
Perhaps it is related to the power steering system or the tie rods?
I will also note, there were no visible signs that my axle was bad, but it was also not under the steering wheel, but on the side with the bad axle.
I would recommend avoiding driving it until you get to the bottom of this issue. Its easy to not be concerned if the car still runs and drives, until your wheel falls off.

Thank everybody it was the rear transmission mountI have a 2005 chevy cobalt every time I hit a bump or turn my steering wheel left or right there clunking and rattling noise I replaced the struts the lower control arms and the steering shaft does anyone know what else it could be it’s driving me crazy
Ah! that was my next guess, but the fact it was during turning made me think other things, but it makes sense.Thank everybody it was the rear transmission mount
Wow! I have totally redone my front end. Struts axles steering shaft control arms. Everything is tight. Can’t make anything wiggle and still some clunking on bumps and turns. Just as soon as the glue dries on my temperature blend door, and i can adjust the temps inside, I’ll look at my trans mounts. Of all the crazy things.
