Weird intermittent clacking. Not always on turns....

At first I thought CV joints. But it happens at times driving straight. It also happens sometimes turning to left, then sometimes to right. Then I thought inner driver, but the clacking and banging I feel in the driver's side wheel then suddently disappears. The CV on the passenger's side is new. The car pulsated with a metal on metal banging/thumping feel and noise for a short while and started pulling to the left, making me think inner driver, but then it stopped and became controlable.
Is this a tranny problem? Is the crown gear shifting around. Is the pinion bearing going? There is no pinion whine. Happens in all gears, so is not a syncro or worn gear problem (I think). Wheel bearings should be an all or nothing kind of thing, so when they go they are gone. They would not be intermittent. Front motor mount is new and hydraulic with a retainer, so the engine is not bouncing.
Any ideas?
