Default Noises while turning

I have an 08 2Dr 6spd and every time I do a tight turn at any speed I can hear noises that sound like they're coming from the bottom of the Jeep. It always sounds like something is loose underneath. I'm a little disappointed that this is happening on my new vehicle along with the clutch making noises and the Jeep driving like it's an old carburated engine on cold mornings. Does anybody else experience any noises while turning, or am I just being too picky?

Have never noticed anything like that on mine, take it to the dealer and get it looked at.

Check your swaybar linkage also, I had a creek or popping noise this weekend and it was one of my disconnects making the sound. Just an idea.

Definitely sounds like time to introduce yourself to your service dept. Those both sound like issues that can be reproduced for them, () should be easy fix for them.

Mine clunks once in a while on a tight turn. It's the steering stabilizer rubbing on something. I've relocated it and moved it to every position possible. It still does it now and again.
