Default LOUD CLUNK FROM THE FRONT WHEN TURNING

Hello,
I have a 2014 Audi A7 TDI and something weird is happening. Whenever I go down my driveway and then turn right into the street, there's this loud clunk coming from the front of the car. It feels as if the wheels are breaking loose like they have no traction, even though it has new tires. It only happens when i go from straight to a tight turn of the wheel (almost full lock)

Has anyone else have this problem??

Its on the 20inch, double spoked 5 spoke wheels and has the suspension with all the controls (comfort, dynamic, etc)

Classic for subframe bolts being a bit loose. HAD same issue on my 2013 Lexus GS350 F-sport and it was always going down the driveway onto main street turning and theres a loud pop or clunk feel and it was vexing and after taking it in and showing it with my shop foreman he knew it immediately and smiled and had the bolts tightened to spec and it was quiet again. I have a 2016 A7 with 20s now but No issues so far.

My wife's A7 has his occasionally. My research turned this up, but I haven't tried it yet.

Oh and if you do this on your own, don't overtighten the black plastic nuts; they break easily...
