4kq clunk/pop in l.h. turns

[JShadzi at aol.com]

    It is likely a problem related to a bushing.  The most likely candidate 
is a control-arm bushing that is trashed.  Also, inspect the subframe bolts 
to make sure they are torqued to approximately 80 ft/lbs.  I would lift up 
the front/right side and try to wobble the wheel to see if there is any play 
in the control arm bushings initially, then go from there.

 passenger side when going fairly hard around left hand turns.
 Sound is pretty consistent and happens when right front is under
 moderate load. My mechanic drove it and found that the short
 bar that connects to the front sway bar was slightly bent and 
 rubbing against the right a-arm; he fixed this, but she still makes
 the noise. Any ideas?
