Default Clunk noise and turning

Would worn radius arm bushings(at the axle) cause a clunk when turning? My brother called, said he was getting a clunk noise when turning either direction.

I told him probably not,more like panhard rod bushings. But he said he has recently replaced them, and new rod ends, and steering stabilizer, and that the radius bushings are worn(next on his list).

?????

Its either the bushings,cv's,or somethings loose(panhard,tie rods,etc....). My bet would be on worn bushings

CV joints. Mine was doing the same thing. Swivel joint ran low on fluid and it ruined them.

Did it do it at any speed? Forgot to mention in first post, he said it would make the same sound no matter what speed(even at standstill)

He thinks it's the radiusarm bushings(their junk), or the wheel bearings-even though they don't have excessive play to them.

Mine would do it the most going slow while turning but you had to be moving. Didn't do it at a standstill.
