Help please

The past few months I have been noticing a strange clunking noise that usually happeneds at slower speeds (5 to 20) when comming to a stop. The sound clicks and clunks probably about 20 times untill I come to a complete stop. I noticed tonight that it also does it frequently on left turns, now any ideas if this is a axle bearing, wheel bearing or what not. Im under warranty right now and am trying to get this taken care of before my warranty is done.

You might have a broken spider gear, I'd have the center cover removed and have it inspected. Bob

If it's under warranty, take it to the dealership and get them to look at it.
