Clunking sound from driver's side

i have this clunking sound coming from my driver's side wheel area. it only happens on hard right hand turns though. i pulled my wheel off and looked around and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. could it be an endlink or lower ball joint? what do you guys think?

when i take mine out (i've done it 3 times now), i took a pry bar to one side, and took a large chisel to the other. pry on one side and tap the chisel in on the other, don't hit the seal that is back in there though.

My guess that it should be sealed at idle because if it isnt it would make like a vacuum leak and be taking in...
