clunking/grinding noise

Just wondering if anyone has experienced the exact same issue as I am having and found a fix to it. I recently have been experience a clunking noise that could literally be felt through the pedals when turning left or right slowly over dips and road imperfections. Only at very slow speed. It gets really loud almost making a popping sound when angling in a driveway or gas station. The car is an 09 RX8 MT with 95k miles. Only suspension mods are Koni yellows+eibach springs. They have been on for about 40k miles. Any input will be much appreciated.

The rear diff likes to make some weird sounds sometimes when turning sharp.
It felt like the back two tires are locked up together and one is skidding.

Do you have an after market suspension?

Check your end links, either way.

Sounds like a loose sway bar end link to me according to the way you describe it.
