My Awd Lincoln Aviator 2003 makes a clunking sound when I turn left or right, I replaced both upper control arms and lower ball joints, a mechanic told me that it could be the U joints. The clunking noise sounds the most when I am backing out of my drive way. I talked to two mechanics and they checked the suspension on my car and said everything looks fine in the car.

Check tie rods for play, check steering rack bushings.

I agree with the rack bushings. They are a common failure.
