When I turn me wheels, when moving or parked, there is a loud clunk/thunking sound coming from the drivers side wheel. From what I have read most people say this is a CV joint problem, but looking at my CV joint the boot is still in great condition. I am wondering if this could be the strut bearing gone bad. If so: Is there any down side to just replacing just the one bad side with a "quick strut" complete assembly? If I do put on a quick strut do I need to worry about alignment problems, since I wont be turning the tie rod at all?

You can replace just one strut
as for the alignment replacing the strut will change the alignment
