Z goes THUD when turning

When I turn hard at low speeds, I hear a loud "thud" up front. Throwing the car side to side at about 10mph+ makes the sound.
:(

Anybody else have this happen? Is it something I need to take in under warranty?

I really dread taking her to a local Chevy dealer and risk them messing something up or scratching her.

My pal's '03 Z06 was doing that also. The dealership torqued the stablizer bar end links (front and rear) and the clunk hasn't return since.
