Clunking while turning at low speed

Started about a month ago and progressively got worse

If I’m turning at low speed the front end has a clunk, whether it’s forward or reversing. Very audible too and it sounds like a metal clunk. I have replaced my endlinks thinking it was that but nothing. Sway bar is good, which leads me to think it could be either the axle or coilover.

Any thoughts?
 
yup, i did install coilovers but that was almost 2 months ago. The clunking should of been present after the install if something was off but who knows it could be that
I have had slightly loose bolts get worse over time. I’d start with confirming every bolt you touched has been torqued. In my experience, 9 times out of 10 a clunk is something I forgot to fully tighten.

Definitely double-check the top nut on the damper. That is easy to under-torque and will result in clunking.

i actually checked that one yesterday so i eliminated that one. I might suspect is could be the pillow joint or maybe even the one to the control arm
