Default metal clanking noise when going over bumpy road

Hi everyone, just the other day, i had my window down and noticed a metal clanking/banging noise coming from the front drivers side. It would do this when driving over bumpy/uneven road surface...i also can feel the steering wheel at times pulling to either side(maybe just bad road surface)? any ideas for this metal noise would be great.thanks

Default clunky sound

Hope it's not the rack&pinion.. very expensive and time consuming..if you can find rebuilt around 150bucks but the labor is unreal and than the rebuilt was making even more clunk..so returned it + the cost of labor.It took 3 rack..still nightmare about it..lucky my friend is a mechanic and did it for cheap...
Good luck
