Keywords: clunking sound when turning

I have an 83 Honda Accord  that has been exihibiting unusual
behavior.  When turning, the car sometimes makes this clunking sound
that comes from somewhere around the front wheels.  It occurs
mostly when beginning a turn from a dead stop.  I don't accelerate
real fast or anything.  It is also more evident turning right than
turning left, or when turning to go up a hill.  Someone said to me
that it sounds like a CV joint, whatever that is, and that it is
not serious yet (but that it would be serious if the car was clunking
while going straight), and that the only solution is to replace the
front axle.  Does this sound reasonable?  I can't even tell from
the service manual where this CV joint is.

Any opinions or suggestions will be appreciated.
