I have an 03 cav with the clunk during corners. I took it to the dealer (1000 miles out of warranty)they said it was the strut bushings.Quoted me a $600 price on replaceing them. I havent had it done. They claimed it was safe but it will wear tires uneven if left too long.
Was looking the other day and noticed there is a TSB out on the 03 with a clunk during cornering as the discription and the cause on the TSB is the sterring intermediate shaft.
