Bonk when turning?
Hello everyone. Today I've noticed when I turn SOMETIMES I hear this odd bonk noise. It feels like something is hitting the bottom of the car or something is wrong with the axle. It happens usually when I turn left, not so much when I turn right. I don't know what this is, or if I'm just being too cautions etc. The car is a 2011 C300 4MATIC with 19K miles.
You can hear it after the 3 blinkers and as I start to make the turn.

If its not something rolling around in the trunk, can you feel anything in the steering wheel or pedals when it makes the noise?
How far do you have to turn the wheel to get the noise? Right angle turns vs a gentle curve, etc...
Are there any lose panels under the car or in the wheel wells?
Does it do it at any particular speed?
