Default Clunking noise

Hi everyone, got a two door jk 2007 I've been having this weird clunk when i make sharp turns to either side i already switched out the ball joints, u-joints, track bar, drag link, and ring and pinion but it still keeps making the clunking noise any ideas to what it could be?

Perhaps there are some problems with the motor.

Check your motor and transmission mounts

Dang, talk about throwing parts at it. Did you throw new gears at trying to fix this as well, or was that unrelated? That is a good bit extreme IMO. When it comes to noises, you really need to do a good bit of troubleshooting/trying to replicate the noise and pin down, as much as possible, when it's occurring. Simply saying "when making sharp turns" is very vague. SO, is this only while driving and making a sharp turn? Is a "sharp turn" full lock? Does it happen on flat road, or only on inclines? Can you replicate it sitting stationary? Can you replicate it at any speed (both very slow and faster)? Is it related to body roll at all, or do you suspect it's 100% steering related? Have you taken the first step of double checking torque on all suspension bolts?

You can use a gopro type camera and record it it different viewpoints while drivingtoo. It can help spot something flexing or cracked.
