mine also clunks when going around corners hard or some times even taking off hard on a bit of an angle
when i got my shockers replace a while ago b4 it clonked they said my steering rack was all worn and my rack mounts were worn so thats what it could be. i havn't replaced mine but i think that will fix it even though its a bit costly. |

Jack the cunt of a thing up and tighten every nut and bolt in the front suspension TIGHT...that'll take care of the cracking sound when you brake suddenly you'll be suprised at how loose they get |
