    A lot of people have this issue and I've had it as well. One area a lot of people overlook is the subframe bushings. More specifically is the subframe rubber/metal insulators (located between the cradle and the chassis). When ever I backed out of my driveway with the wheel turned you'd feel a clunk.

    This was fixed by replacing the rubber/metal insulators. The old insulator rubber delaminated from the metal part and allowed slop which caused the popping/clunking sound.
