KDSS clunk when turning left- is it Toyota documented?

[ubergoober3]

I had a loud squeak in front suspension in my 2014 TEP. Groove Toyota Tech here in Denver/Englewood spent an hour+ with me on test drive, and in the garage, to identify the squeak was sway bar bushings. He showed me some wear marks on the rubber bushing. He lubed sway bar bushings, and that solved for x. No charge. Still under warranty. Maybe your clunk is sway bar bushings?

i'm having a hard time visualizing what in the KDSS system would even be able to "clunk"

I just did my lift a week ago (for the 2nd time), and had a small clunk when stopping, and if I popped the gas and the brakes, I could do it over and over. I have a stripped lower sway bar link nut on the lower control arm (KDSS style), and figured that was the problem, with a bit of movement against the bracket. I just didn't have time to grind the nut off and replace it yet. This morning I got my alignment done, and noticed when he undid the rear bolt on the same driver's side control arm to be able to adjust everything, it came loose almost instantly versus all the other 3 bolts.

Drove it to work, and no clunk. Sway bar nut is still messed up and bolt is still loose, but no more clunk.

My advice to everyone now, check everything after getting an alignment to make sure it's all tight. I would definitely have described this as a clunk, and I was going to inspect the brake pads to make sure they hadn't come loose or some weird caliper problem, but it was definitely related to something in the lower control arms. Oh, and I had tighted up the tie rod ends myself and double checked after the suspension was installed and on the ground, so it definitely wasn't those either.
