2016 with 140k on OME BP51 and UCA’s. BP51 is about 30/40k miles old the UCA’s are pretty new.

We’re getting some creaking, which I understand is likely the lower bushings on the suspension shock itself.

We’re also getting a random clunk in the front end when turning and steering while going over bumps so like pulling out of a parking lot or a driveway and steering at the same time, we’re getting a pretty audible clunk.

Any ideas or places to start checking? It’s going to a shop next week for some upgrades anyway I’d love to maybe help pre-diagnose before we get there so I can have some parts ready.
 
I have no direct experience, but I know from reading Mud for a long time there are many many posts of BP-51 clunking. I’m not surprised changes in steering angle help bring that on. I’ll guess it’s really likely the BP-51 mounts are the problem.
