Default Think I need some parts for my 6, at only 14000 miles?

For the past couple weeks I've been hearing a clunk when making tight turns and as long as I hold the wheel in that tight turn it continues to "clunk." Is this a suspension issue with the upper and lower control arms/bushings/ball joints? I did some research and this seemed to be the likely culprit but the guy who had the same problem had 50k miles.

I bought this car with 11k miles and I really baby it, in fact I've only floored it a couple times. The one thing I've neglected to do was get it aligned, could this have contributed to the clunking problem?

thanks for any advice.

Go get that alignment and tell the tech what you are experiencing so he will take a look.
I didn't get an alignment and I had to buy tire$.

Raise the clunk issue in a way that they also check the motor and transmission mounts. I tied my engine down to limit motion. Woody

Bump since i have a similar issue. Mine is more of a loud click instead of a clunk. It only happens sometime though

Clicking from the wheels usually means wheel bearing. Clicking from your rear end usually means differential.

I'm definitely going in for an alignment this weekend and hopefully the tech can give me some info.
