    Check the LCA cam bolts, especially if you've had an alignment done recently. If they aren't torqued properly they come loose and cause a clunking especially when turning.

    Still worth checking them out, or have the dealer do it...they may not have been torqued properly from the factory. Most other things that would cause clunking while turning are common on higher mileage and/or lifted trucks, not brand new stock ones. Might also be the sway bar end links being loose.
