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.

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