    Default Got some clunking while turning left

    I have a 07 2 door with a re 3.5"lift and 35's. Just had the lift installed about 500 miles ago. Reciently I noticed a clunking knocking noise comming from under the jeep while turning left. Only does it while accelerating through the turn. Can't tell if it's from the front or rear, but I can feel it through the floor and gas pedal. Does anyone have any ideas? I have checked under the jeep and everything seems tight.
    Thanks for your help

    Yup, gotta agree with WOL, if it only does it under load on a turn, its prolly a ujoint.

    I seem to have almost the same issue. Whenever I go to take a left turn at full lock, it almost seems as if my limited slip or brake assist is kicking in(you hear that pattering sound, like when your anitlock brakes kick in). As if it's getting held up but still move forward with SLIGHT hiccup.

    Haha. Found out what the noise was. My stupid body mounted rock sliders were hitting the frame. Tool me all of 5 min. To fix.
