Keep getting a intermittent "clonk" at full lock sometimes on my 1991 16v.

worn outer cv's will give you a constant clicking noise

an intermittent clonk can be caused my numerous things. its just a case of jacking the car up and going thru every nut & bush and checking their condition

Id say its probably a cv joint of some kind, probably one of the outer ones
