Clunking Noise from rear when Coasting
Hello everyone.
I was driving around town this morning, all of the sudden I started hearing a clunking noise coming from the rear of the car. So I pulled off the road to see if anything was broken. Nothing.
It only happens when I'm turning, or when I lift my foot of the gas pedal and just let coast.
If anyone can help, please do.
Really don't want to take it to the dealership.

+1 on the CV Joints. Check the boots for cracking, tears. If it is the CV joints, be careful about putting miles on the car. You may be able to get them rebuilt as oppossed to buying new ones.
I think you are a bit early for having worn CV or flex disc, but who knows.
