    I have been hearing a clunk from the front suspension for about 25k miles I think. Or since I have installed my lift which is about that long ago.

    The clunk seems to only happen while turning at speeds and or going over uneven surfaces at less than 5 mph.

    I think I have isolated it to driver side only.

    The issue is still present after replacement UCAs and lubing the swaybar mounts. It seems doubtful that it is the body mounts given the behavior.

    Please review my video attached and provide me any comments related to what this could be. A buddy of mine has stated that it could be an inner tie rod however I do not have any other symptoms of that issue.

    Video coming.

    Lower shock mount bolt?
    I'd start by going back and retorquing everything you took apart.

    Check your sway bar to see if it's making contact with your coilovers when turning. Mine clunked because of this, and it was caused by sway bar relocation plates that came with my bumper.
