Diagnosis advice

Maybe this is a known/common issue with 3rd gen Fits. So I thought I might ask here.

When turning my 2020 Fit LX to the left, there is a sight clang, clang, clang sound. I laid on the ground & tried to look at anything loose or hanging but saw nothing. But then although over the years I've fixed a ton of stuff on cars, I am no mechanic.
Anyone see (hear) this before?

TIA
edit: I bought this right before the pandemic so it has low miles, 37000 or so.

recheck both CV joints. This is the sound that tells you cv joint is loose and tired and worn out
thank you

Thanks! I will get it checked out. I have no idea how I would ever check it. No lift, floor jack, garage, etc.
If it is one or both of my CV joints I will be quite surprised as it's a 2020 with only 37000 miles on it.

Thank you for quick reply and information
well that is how I have done maintenance on all the cars I have ever driven and owned, and I tell my daughters this:
listepn to the sounds a car makes
thepn really listen to the sounds a car should not make
now you go To investigation mode.
touch,feel, take apart parts in question, and look real hard at parts in question
this is basically what you are doing,
as for you and lack of tools, jacks, car lifters and other things such as apartment rules saying no maintenance of vehicles allowed at all,
now you have a story you can tell to service rep at a car repair shop
let me know what happens, I could be wrong
.
thank you
