Rover 25 clunk on full steering lock

Car: Rover 25
Variant: 1.4 Petrol
Model Year: 2000
Categories: Leaks & Noises
I had occasion today to turn the Car around in a tight circle at full lock. I noticed what I would call a "clunk" i.e. A few times in completing the circle it felt as if the Car went over a hosepipe or similar object on the ground eventhough it was a smooth Tarmac surface. What might be the problem and possible cure.

Thanks.
