Hi, glad to join a community finally. I picked up my 2015 JKU Rubi last Sat 9/19. I noticed this past weekend, a clunk when turning left. I was able to duplicate it whenever I want, it seems if I turn the wheel enough to move the tires right, then turn back left, there’s a Knock, or clunk. So I checked on the front end, nothing really loose that I can shake by hand. Other than the sway bar I can flop up and down by hand. But it has no side to side play, so not sure what to make of that. Maybe it’s just a wrangler? There’s a mess of pieces that connect together to make this front end work. It’s quite an engineering marvel compared to the Honda’s I was brought up on. I imagine a little play in all other joints could amount to a clunk? Anyway. I love my Jeep. And looking forward to chatting with you all.
Clunking when turning left?

Did you jack the front axle completely off the ground and check it? Universal joints will make a clunking noise and so will a ball joint if it's bad enough.

No I did not. I will try that. Look for play left to right with no weight on axle?
