Clunk while turning question.. picture :)
well i just got back from an offroading fiasco that im not going to go into detail about, other than i was stuck for 4 hours haha.
but when i go to turn sharp right or sharp left, i can hear/kind of feel a clunking in the front. i made sure my hubs were set to auto and they are, and i can freely spin the front driveshaft. right now im going with the steering stabilizer is bent (again) because i buried myself on the diffs again. (being young is great isnt it?) tomorrow i will take it off and drive around the circle at the end of our street, and im going with thats it. i dont think there is anything else that could make a clunk like that when im turning right?
thank you in advance!

Bent tie rod, bent drag link, bent or loose panhard bar, broken steering gear, loose steering gear bolts, cracked frame at steering gear mounts, broken or binding axle u-joints, loose leaf spring clips, missing leaf spring insulators, probably a few more I can't think of right now.

Well after you guys made my heart (and bank account's) sink like a rock, i woke up at 6am to go diagnose my truck in the daylight. cycled my auto hubs to lock and back a few times, engaged 4x4 and 4x4 low a few times with no trouble, and then proceeded to unbolt my steering stabilizer. did a few laps in each direction at the circle at the end of our street in full lock turns, noise = gone.
