Default Clunking noise

I am hearing a clunking noise coming from the back whenever I make a sharp left turn such as a u turn . It never happens when going straight or turning to the right. Any info would be appreciated.

That's the end links. Change to Z06 links and you'll be fine.

Going through the same problem now. Dealer recommended new oil and additive. Warranty company agreed. Now I must drive at least 200 miles and if noise doesn't go away back to the dealer for repairs. What happened to you?
