Clunk noise when turning left at low speed (1 Viewer)

Can you pinpoint a clear simple maneuver that creates the sound? Then, can you pinpoint where in that maneuver it happens? We may infer the cause based on the suspension and/or drive terrain geometry.

Yes. When I do a reverse 3 point turn. So I reverse and turn the steering wheel right. Then, when I put the car in drive and turn the wheel hard left, as I an accelerate and about half way through the turn I hear the noise. Sometimes it happens on u turns when about 2/3 th away through the turn, when the wheel is turned sharply (but not against the lock)

It could be that it may still be partially active. Which would not make sense. But It may be. Before you do anything else, disconnect the battery and then reconnect. This may reset modes back to normal. If the sound goes away, then that was it.

Ok I’ll try that, many thanks for the input

Is the LC completely stock? One of my aftermarket upper control arms was making a thud sound when going over bumps and when turning.

totally stock besides skids and sliders

Alignment recently? Getting the monkey's to tighten the lower control arm eccentric bolts to the required spec (209 ft/lbs if I recall) seems like it's asking too much.

Haven’t gotten an alignment recently, no. I do think it happens more when going slightly uphill, and def only when turning left, not right. Disconnecting the battery didn’t help, nor did experimenting with the crawl control turn feature and trying to turn both sides. Gonna call my buddy who works at the dealer tomorrow and see what he says. I don’t think it’s anything to be concerned about but this car is my child and I want the best for it

Well I was driving around quite a bit today, doing some more experimenting/trying to reproduce the sound as well as a bit of off-roading and the sound seems to have gone away. I can't reproduce it for the life of me, even in places it would very consistently make the noise before. Hoping it stays that way, but if not I'll take it to the dealer to make sure everything is ok. Hoping maybe the drivetrain parts were still getting to know each other, especially 4low/ crawl control features.
