tire balance
today i atook my fron t right tire off to see if i could find that annoying clunk on that side, and just out of pure curiousity i checked my tires for weights. their are no weights of any kind, at all, ANYWHERE on the tire. so i think my shudder at acceleration is due to the fact that my front two tres are completely unbalanced. and alos i still have notfound that clunk. it only does it when im turning, forward or reverse. im thinking maybe cv joint.

Re: tire balance
If the clunk happens only while turning, I would look at the upper strut mount and bearing plate assemblies to see if they are binding. A CV axle will either growl/hum (inner) especially over undulating roads, or continually pop/clunk (outer) while turning. If your clunk is a one time thing, it's most likely not a CV axle.

Re: tire balance
actually, it started to growl today on uneven roads, and it will pop more than once while turning, just not all the time. sometimes it pops 4 or 5 times and others it will only do itonce or not at all.

Re: tire balance
With your more detailed description of the noise, I agree with bnaylor that there's a good chance the hub torque was not done properly causing the popping/growling due to improper hub bearing pre-load.
