   Is the car lowered?
   Mine does this sometimes and I was told it was the anti roll bar...
   But its got worse now and does it a lot more often, checked it out and it was a damaged CV joint

   It will be the cv joint, try and get it fixed asap. The longer you leave it the worse it will get.

   Agree CV will click click click on full lock as the car is moving. Also front brake pads can be a bad fit in the caliper and move when braking in reverse hitting the caliper and causing 1 clonk sound.

   Depends really, if your doing it yourself and need a new driveshaft the part is around 70-80quid.
   A garage quoted me 120quid fitted for a driveshaft replacement

   Basically i have a dead end but kerbs lowered either side so i drive up and reverse back, have to full lock it to the left to reverse it and when i do it makes 1 loud CLUNK.
   
   Is this still the CV joint?
