Supra Steering Noise

Hi Guys,
Lately, my car has been making loud thumping noises around the passenger front wheel area. They happen when I turn full lock right and reverse out of a park, or just reverse backward and hit the brakes. These is a loud clunk as though something is loose under the car on the passenger side. It clunks back when I drive forward then hit the brakes.
The problem doesn't reproduce itself when normal driving apart from full lock situations.
I looked on the net and saw that engine mounts can wear out and cause a loud clunking, but I don't think it's this because it also happens at low speed particularly when reversing with wheels pointed right.
What is it? Does this mean my steering is going to let go and I'm going to have a crash? I don't want to take it to a mechanic who might not have a clue to get ripped off. This ruins the driving experience of an otherwise excellent car.
Thanks again
