Just recently I have noticed a repetitive "clunking" or "knocking" noise coming from the front left axle area. The noise comes when I turn sharply and/or brake rather sharply. Any idea what this might be?

check the cv joints. a bad cv joint will clunk when turning. if so replace the whole axle. it's cheaper or just as cheap then to replace the joint.
