    I have a 2020 Tacoma and ever since I bought the truck, I've been hearing a clunking noise coming from either under the driver's seat or near it. This clunking noise only occurs when turning sharply right or turning right a little aggressively.

    I checked all the storage compartments and nothing in them is making the sound. I also checked some suspension parts under the drivers side and it seems that everything is tight. It is sounding like it is metal to metal or plastic to plastic. Almost sounds like something is loose.

    Any suggestions as to what it is?

    Check to see if the rear seat belt is clipped into the storage clip because they can rattle around

    I had something similar when reversing with the wheels turned and going around off ramps at higher speeds, it turned out to be the lower control arm bolts. One worked itself a tad loose and it was shifting around. Retorqued and all was well!
