Rear passenger-side knock when turning right...
Hi guys, looking for some input on the possible cause of a what sounds to be rear passenger-side clunck/knock when I take a right turn.
The knock is a single knock (not continuous) and does seem like it could possibly be metal on metal. It doesn't happen while taking a left or driving straight.
I have torqued down my front and rear suspension to spec, just to eliminate that as a possibility.
Any input and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also if more information is needed just let me know.

if it's just a single knock on a turn, sounds like a suspension component or bolt could be shifting or making contact with something else as your suspension shifts in the turn. i would check your track bar and rear coil to see if anything there is making contact.

I just had the same thing happening only while turning left. Turns out my xrc rock slider was hitting the frame. Just loosened the bolts and repositioned. Noise is gone. If you have body mount sliders it might be the problem.

Have a 2017 Recon 4 door and I get the single clunk when turning left, the noise appears to come from the right rear. based on your info I checked the factory Side Step/Rock Rail and with the vehicle parked, I can grab the rear tube of the step and duplicate the clunk noise. I will have to investigate how to get it to stop, but knowing where the noise is coming from is a big help... Thank you for the above info...
