156k miles; bought it new.

Symptoms include a clunk when making a slow speed tight left turn. I recently replaced both halfshafts, both tierods and all of the front suspension bits, including ball joints, control arms and tension struts and swaybar links. All were torqued to spec under load, and double checked by my dealer when I had it aligned.

I thought maybe the belly pan bolts were loose; I reused them (yeah, I know) and loc-tited them. They were torqued too; and don't seem to be loose, but I suppose that might be the problem. I crawled under it Sunday and re-torqued them about another 45deg; still have clunk.
