Default Repetitive clunking coming from a stop and turning left

I really don't even know how to describe this. I have about 13,000 miles on my 06 now but ever since I got it new from the lot, while turning hard left the back left tire would lose traction and kind of hop. Even at low speeds, it would happen as long as I had the wheel turned as far left as possible.

Well, as of now I am getting a similiar clacking/clunking everytime I come from a stop at a low speed from the FRONT left tire. It seems to get worse if I am turning left but it will continually do it going forward also. I really can not pinpoint the sound, it sounds like it's coming from the wheel hub or something and I can feel it resinate through the clutch pedal as I am letting it out. It is happening EVERY single time I come from a stop.

Any ideas? Knowing my Subaru dealership they will give the car back to me after having it all day and do nothing so I will have to fix this myself.

Haha, nah it's not the diff. I just monkyed around with the wheel itself and it turns out 3 of the damn lug nuts were so lose I could twist them completley off by hand. I just had new wheels put on, I guess the shop didn't even bother using a torque wrench on them. Gonna go drive some and see if that was the problem.
