CV Joint?

I don't have a 9-5, but I assume it is like other front-wheel drive cars in that it has constant velocity joints. These connect the drive shafts to each front wheel. When the CV joint fails, it produces clunking noises when you go around corners just as you described.
There is a rubber accordian-like boot that covers the CV joints. Sometimes the joint fails on its own, other times the boot gets a tear and the grease comes out and dirt and water get in.
