It's definitely not common. Check your steering rack and tie rod ends where they interface with the hub.

I have seen cases where the steering rack bushings were badly deteriorated. Also saw a case once where the bolts holding the rack to the subframe were loose.

Jack up the car, remove the belly pan, and have a look. It shouldn't be hard to find the problem.

When I decided to tear my car down for a full resto one of the things I notice was the bolts that holds the steering u joint onto the steering shaft was missing. I too was getting a clunking noise at full lock. I'm hoping that once the car is back up and running this will have fixed it.
