Make sure your sway bar links are tight. Mine were loose enough for me to screw off by hand. Clunk was Gone after tightened.

This is going to sound stupid but worth a shot.

I had the same thing happening to me suddenly (mine is a stock Rubi). Mine was still under warranty so I took it to the dealership.

After 4 days and 28 hours of some poor mechanics time trying to figure out the issue he found out......it was the battery hold down had come loose and when I would take the left turns, it would "thunk" as the battery moved slightly.

Apparently Jeep is making a Service Bulletin because of it...something easy and quick you can check.

Could it be a coil spring has Not set properly and is moving enough to make that clunk? That's just a thought.

You were right, I Checked the links again and they were loose somehow and I torqued them down again and it's gone! Thanks!
