Clunking at the end links (particularly after a change) typically is not tightened all the way or torqued properly.

LOL - I was just injecting a little humor - I know it must be frustrating. If I had a solution, I would gladly share the same

Might be something besides the end links:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-t...t-it-was.html#

But that thread doesn't mention clunking only at full-lock low-speed turns.

Anyway, it's worth checking for peace-of-mind.

And I doubt it's a loose lug nut(s), but might as well check those, too.
