Icon2 clunk

hey i have got a question for everyone, when starting off first thing in the morning in reverseing out and turning the wheel i get a very loud clunk coming from the front end then again when i go forward turning the wheel. i have replaced about everything there from the strut mounts, struts shocks tie rods control arms everything lets say and the clunk is still there. i have had it looked at by many shops and no one can figure it out because once you lift it in the air it NEVER makes that sound.......any ideas???????

Have you replaced your cv axles? One of them could be bad causing the clunk you are describing.

When they put it the air did they check the front wheels for any play (side to side or top to bottom)?

Does it happen when you turn only right? Or only left?

Could be inner or outer tie rods (I saw you replaced those)
Lower ball joints
Front sway bar bushings or endlinks

i did the ball joints and swaybar end links and bushings, pretty much everything i think. when you lift it in the air it wont make a sound. and there is no play in the wheels themself everything as tight as a virgin lol
