Lower ball joint, engine mount or loose elephant.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Mine had a new stearing rack put on after taking a dirt track and spining the car at silly speeds

Although my stearing was cluncky rather than the car making a noise. I love waranty

Anti roll drop links likely but could be any bush/ball joint.

I'd agree with Ste tbh. Sounds like a loose elephant.

Good point, waving your arms in the air instead of holding the wheel will lead to clunking noises when you crash.
