93 Ford Ranger steering problem. Clunking sound when turning wheel......?

Every thing seems solid under hood but heavy metal "clunking" When turning steering wheel around corners, like a metal bar is flopping around. Checked manual, can't really tell what it could be? Any ideas? No tilt steering wheel.
