Check and tight every nuts/bolts from control arm to rotor, that is the cheapest way. Make sure the sound it is not from your steering wheel/column.

Things to check;
Wheel Bearing,
Wheel Nuts,
Brake Pads ( they can move in the caliper if cheap non OEM one's).
Play in lower arms,
Shock Knock: shocks moving inside the strut, rock car from side to side on the ground violently listen for knock, or place hand on strut and 'feel it'.

I've got the same issue on my Solara. Clunk when turning at low speed, more evident if there's passengers in the car, and a vibration at high speed (but that could be wheel balance).
I checked everything for play and noise thoroughly this weekend and couldn't find anything loose or where the noise is coming from. I know my right side ball joint leaked out all the grease last year but its still taught.
I think the next thing is to check the steering rack and intermediate steering shaft / U-joint.
