So my X has a new problem, go figure. Now when i make right turns i get a clunking sound. This would be the cv axle, correct. I am guessing because it looks like the Rh axle seal is leaking. Could the extra vibration in the R cv axle caused the seal to leak? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Need more info. Right turns slowly, as in a parking lot, or at speed on a curve?

If noisy when proceeding slowly, likely you're right, bad OUTER CV joint, although, if vehicle is moving along fairly well, say, 15 mph or more, weight transfer OFF the RH front wheel increases weight (load) on the LH side, thereby implicating the wheel bearing on that side. imp
