    I have developed a "clunk" coming from the front end. It sounds like it is coming from the drivers side. It happens when I have the steering wheel turned almost full lock to the left. It happens in both drive and reverse. Once the "clunk" happens, it does not happen again until a straighten the wheel out a drive for some time. I tried doing circles in a parking lot, but once the noise happened, it did not happen again until I drove straight/turned wheel, and even then it didn't happen right away.

    Any thoughts?

    Set up is Bilstein 6112s on top setting. OEM wheels, OEM UCAs. 275/70/R18 tires on stock Trail Edition wheels. I installed the coilovers myself about 3 months ago. Did not notice the noise until about a month ago. When installing, I used the method where you disconnect LCA. I just re-torqued everything today and clunk is still there.

    Too many, but not enough....
    Your probably cranking the steering to its limit then when you accelerate it's pushing the wheel into the bumps. Happens to me on occasion when I have to make a tight and fast u turn.

    Just had the same issue with mine, turned out lower control arms had gone bad along with the steering rack. After lower control arms were replaced it went away for me.
