Front Wheel Drive

What is causing a banging sound in the front left wheel area, but only occurrs while moving and is exacerbated the tighter you turn the wheel - if i make less tight turns in wide radiuses the sound doesnt happen as frequently.
additionally, after it makes the sound, the car will pull either right or left like its out of alignment, but this only occurrs after a turn and the sound. Seemingly at random it picks either right or left to pull to- I can be driving , make a turn, and it will make the sound and pull left - go a little biut, make another turn, the sound, and it will pull right.
thanks in advance

Can only be guessing so you need to check everything about what holds the wheel(s) in place and check both sides as noise can travel and fool you as to where the source is.
Things to rule out include:
*Wheel lugs nuts properly tight.
*Wheel bearing that doesn't have in or outward lash.
*Ball Joint
*Strut
*inner and outer tie rod ends.
*Control arm bushings.
In that it can pull either way also suggests that something is very wrong with the rack and pinion steering rack itself just doesn't want to return properly to center again after turning??
Hoisting vehicle and turning wheels (steering them) by hand might help reveal the source problem,
