Weird Problem....

The car: '98 Nissan 200SX SE, approx. 45,000 miles, Rota Slipstreams,
(15X6.5), everything else is stock.
The problem: it's only happened three times, so far, and only on
extremely cold days, (not sure if this is "a reason", though). I get
off work in the morning, warm the car up a minute, then turn the wheels all the way to the left, and go; then I hear this really loud clunking noise from the passenger side. It's only happened three
times, though. Whenever I try to recreate it, it just doesn't happen.
I do hear a slight "whoop, whoop" noise when turning left, though, (like a heliocoper's rotors), but not all the time. CV joints
look fine. I don't think the rotors are warped, because I know how
that feels. I put the Rotas on with the slock lugs before, which
f*cked up the studs, and made a similar clunking noise; but
I've driven over 5,000 miles with the McGard lugs with no prob.,
except on those three instances.
Any ideas?

Check your cv joints. They wear down and the cold might have messed them up.

Well it happened again just about a 1/2 hour ago It sounds/feels
just like a flat tire, but I can't recreate it after I start off, (it only
does this for the first two or three feet ). The first time,
about a month ago, I could've sworn it was a flat, but the tire
wasn't even underinflated. I'll check the CV boots again today.
Anyone know the average wear of CV joints if you keep the
boots intact? Thanks.
