Default What is this loud hammering noise car makes when accelerating on hard turn??

when i am stopped and turn my steering wheel a lot to either left or right, and i accelerate, there is a loud thumping hammering noise coming from the front of the car.

it also happens when i am turned a lot to the left or right, and i reverse. it sounds like a hammer hitting cement. it only happens when i turn almost all the way to the left or right...?

Sorry, It's not the ball joint. It's the drive shaft joint.
