Default Clicking noise from suspension over bumps

I have this fairly loud clicking noise from the suspension when I either go up a driveway ramp or turn sharply. Its particularly apparent if i drive up a curb at an angle. I first thought it was my lowering bolts. But I changed these and I still have the noise. My car is a Z07 2015 with 23K miles. The noise started about 10K miles ago and now seems to be more frequent. Anyone experience this sort of thing? What did you do to correct it?

I had a very annoying clicking in those situations on my C6. Ended up being bad swaybar end-links.

are you planning on replacing end links? Wouldnt this be a warranty issue? Let me know if you are able to replace these and if corrects the problem.

Have you changed brake pads? My track pads (Raybestos ST-43s) clank around like crazy. They just don't fit perfectly and clank when they shift over bumps.

I had not considered this. I just assumed it was coming from underneath the car. I could be wrong. anyone else experience this? Its a single clink when i hit a bump, at an angle where one wheel goes over the bump before the other.
