Getting a "clunk" sound coming from the front end when ...

I think that's normal...it's the diffs basically fighting against each other cause the wheel rates
are much higher in the front that the rear when you make a hard pivot like turn. I've heard some and felt some interesting things when making full throttle U-Turns from a standing stop...the front outside wheel travels quite a bit further than the rear inside wheel in that situation...I think it's the torsen just juggling torque back and forth.
I've heard all sorts of things...when I make sharp turns into parking spots sometimes I'll get a little noise...almost like I went over a small bump...I dunno what it is...but I don't think anything is wrong cause you can just whail on it in a straight line or even a slow corner and you don't hear a thing...I think because largely the wheels are all turning at the same rate so there's no mechanical tug-of-war going on down there.
