Weird clunk
Hey everyone I'm having a weird clunk noise when I am turning or slight turn on a bump ... I have a 2013 rubicon 2 door with less than 5000 km ... Can someone tell me what it could be ?

Id take it back and let the dealership deal with it. If you dont want to do that start with the simple things, like checking the torque on the lug nuts. Then you might want crawl underneath and see if you have anything obviously loose and in need of tightening. If you dont find anything with a visual inspection try checking the torque on your suspension components. If you can have someone stand outside the Jeep while you make it make the noise so that they can halp you narrow down where the noise is coming from. That will at least narrow down where you should start looking for a problem.
Good Luck

^ yep. If you think the sound is coming from underneath, you should also be able to tell which side and possibly if it's front or back.
Braking causes your frame to push forward in your axles. Control arms support forces in that direction. They may need to be tightened.
