Clunk!

Dont know if anyone is experiencing this, but its got me perplexed. Sometimes when turning (either way, but mostly noticable when turning left) I can hear and almost feel a "clunk" coming from what feels like under my feet or slightly behind me. I thought this would have been erraticated when I had the suspension done (2" lift new shocks springs etc), but it has not changed. Most of the time it is only apparent under heavy body roll or when there is pronounced articulation, but oddly enough is at its worst when it is raining or the undercarriage is wet.....then even easy turns comes accompanied with a clunk.
Anyone got any ideas?

yep got the same problem. my solution is deal with it!
thats not very helpfull of me.
so:
body mounts, radius arm bushes or loose nut on rear of either radius arms, crack in floor (where floor pan meets firewall is usually where they crack), free play at any of your steering linkages or pan hard rod, crack in chassis where the steering box bolts up,
there is few thing to look at hope one of them is you problem. good luck

Get someone to listen outside for an clunks when you move the steering back and forth while its on. Should be able to work out where the noise is coming from.
If nothing while stationary.
Check list:
Radius arms nuts near the chassis
Gear box cross member bolts and rubber mounts nuts
Body mounts
Exhaust rubbers
