Default engine makes this clunking noise when I'm in a low RPM 2nd or 3rd gear

it's always when turning (I'm going slow) then accelerating in 2nd at low RPM's. It makes this fairly loud clunking noise. It only happens at low RPM's. I'm not in first because it rides too jerky going to first on a turn.

sounds like your cv joints are bad.

its not rpms dependant. its turning dependant. when you turn at any speed/any rpms, they click and clunk....sounds like its time for new ones....

yes but if I'm coasting and turning it makes no noise. Only accelerating under load (going uphill seems to the noise is lounder)

Try checking your motor mounts for me; it may be the motor rocking and knocking in what's left of its mounts.
