Just noticed a thump/clunk noise every time the car weights shift from one side to another, ie.: turn the steering wheel back and forth...

Doesn't happen when car is stationary. Only happens when the car weights shifts from one side to another

The noise occurs when passing through steering center. (the noise seems to be coming from the rear of the car, but I'm not sure). Any ideas on things to check?

thanks

get some one to rock the car vigorously whilst you hold roll bar ,drop links ,and watts linkage bars ,you should feel which has play

If it's from the rear: check the arm that minimizes side-to-side play on the rear axle.

Do you mean the anti roll bar? Ordered two lemforder arb links. Seems like that's the problem indeed

Could be the watts linkage bushes on the back axle or if associated with the steering moving, the panhard rod bushes on the front,you need to get under with a big old pry bar and have a root around

Just an update:

A pair of RBX101181 (rear ARB bushes) fixed the problem
