Default A4 turning noise

What's up,

I'm wondering if someone can help me out. I have a 2003 A4 with a fat 156,000 miles on it, and it runs great. Recently though, I've noticed a clunking noise under from what sounds to be my right wheel when I turn into certain right turns (primarily harder ones). You can also feel the event in the accelerator and brake pedals. The feeling and sound only are present on right turns, and are non existent for the drive otherwise.

Any thoughts if this might be a bearing issue? If anyone can help me out it'd be greatly appreciated it, thanks!

Could be the CV Axle has failed, or maybe a bearing

bearing would make a groaning noise when turning and a humming type sound going straight at higher speed

Most likely the CV joint is failing. Noise making a right turn, check left axle. Noise making a left turn, check right axle. If you feel vibration in the brake pedal in conjunction with the noise, most likely there is a combination of problems, including loose wheel bolts, warped rotor, loose axle nut, or even worn ball joint or tie rod end.
A broken axle can leave you stranded, while the other stuff can get you hurt. Get the car checked out by good mechanic or front end shop.
