Weird Issue
I noticed the other day when I pull into my drive way turning right I hear a faint clunk and feel something bump. If aI turn in left wheel first nothing. I pulled both wheels off and made sure the wishbone shock bolts were tight and the sway bar links looked ok as well. I tested it again and same thing. I'm not sure what it is. It's on 07 with 8,100 miles, Bilstein sport shocks and eibach sway bars. I'm going to try to use my buddies lift this weekend but I want to see if anyone else ever had this issue.

It absolutely sounds like a loose suspension bolt somewhere, get in there before it ends your world on the highway

Aftermarket wheels, Bilstein Shocks, lowered on stock bolts, Eibach Sway bars. It makes no noise while driving. Someone mentioned it could be the steering rack as well. Everything I checked seemed tight that I could access. I'm gonna get it on a lift so I can really get a good look at everything. At first I thought it might be an end link but they look ok.

Probably the endlinks. my 07 did the same thing.
Easy way to tell is to pull the front endlinks and try to recreate the condition that makes the noise.
My noise sounded like it was coming from the rear. LG techs removed the rear but noise stayed. They then removed the front endlinks and noise stopped.
Now I have Moog endlinks as they have a grease zerk.

I got it on the lift this morning and everything looked ok. No play in the sway bar links nor did the bushings look worn. The sway bar bushing wasn't fully seated in the bracket so I fixed that and drove it around and nothing. Turned in my drive way and left wheel first and as I started to straighten it out I heard it again. I'm kind of at a loss on this one. It only does it on slow bumps turning right.
