Sounds like you've narrowed it down to a corner, that's not easy. Is the vibration dependent on road surface? or consistently just rotational speed of the wheels? I wonder if if the tie rod end is loose causing the clanking... Hows alignment? Does the car at least drive straight?
The dealer aligned the car and the issue is still there. They say the front end is tight but I'm not sure I believe that. I'm going to get it up on a lift and check it our myself soon. The car handles great and goes straight down the road if you take your hands off the wheel. I've also replaced the tires and wheels and no change.
