I have a clunking when I turn the tire either way, accelerate, and stop. I am not sure if this is dangerous, and supposed to take a seven hour trip. Any help in pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Here is a video of my car noise. I had a problem adding it from my computer file.

That is an odd noise. I would see if it make that noise with the engine off and turning the steering wheel. You may have to jack up the front until the wheels are off the ground.

I would not drive the car until the noise is found it sounds like sounds something is broken. We need to get closer to the noise which you might need a rack for.

Once you get the front wheels of the ground, try both turning the steering wheel left and right at that spot where the noise occurred and also just grab the tire with both hands at three and nine o'clock positions and turn the tire right and left and see if you can hear the noise still and if so, try to pinpoint where the noise is coming from.
