Single clunk when turning at low speeds, Shimmy over road crowns - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a 2014 SS 1LE, mods are the following:

Pegasus Solid Subframe Mount
Pegasus offset poly diff bushings
BMR 1" drop springs
JPSS aluminum front radius rod bushings
Detroit Speed front caster mod
C7 Z06 Front Brakes

I get a clunk that you can feel through the car when cutting the wheel all the way and turning at start up (leaving a parking space etc). The car also "shimmys" over the road crowns when switching lanes. Alignment has been done and it is spot on.

I have went through 2 half shafts and a differential, all have been replaced under warranty (differential broke after the half shafts, maybe they are bad again?). The dealership also forgot to torque the axle nut so it was smacking against my back right wheel bearing.

I know that my wheel bearings are damaged from the axle nut not being torqued down, do you think that the wheel bearings would also cause clunking at low speeds? The clunk only happens once when it is parked for awhile. Can sticking brake pads cause this?

check the silencers in your lowering springs. Had a car come in with similar issue and his silencers or ruber covers had slid down on the springs make sure they are all the way up. that solved the issue for him

i will definitely check that! i am leaning towards a backlash issue though

Ever figure it out? I have the same issue on my 13'. Changed the tie rods and sway bar links. Still have that issue.

I am having the same issue from the rear passengers side of my 2014 1LE, which just started a few days ago. Did anyone find out what is causing this?
