Clunk when stopping and turning

[ShawnTRD]

This 05 now has started a clunk noise from time to time. Sometimes it's when braking to a stop (going straight). Other times we hear the same noise when turning. The sharper the turn the more likely it will clunck. Shop doesn't see a problem and it doesn't happen all the time.

where is the noise heard at front back drivers side passenger side? hard braking or gentle braking. not sure but might be strut shifting or bad bushing. sorry if that doesn't help alot more info might make it easier.

A loose "locking nut" on a tie rod end will cause a tie rod clunking sound when turning, it did on mine. Bad lower ball joints will cause a clunking sound, but usually when hitting a bump in the road or when the suspension compresses.

Check your sway bar end links. The bottom bushings on mine were gone! It was metal on metal.
