Default Clunk noise while turning left

Hi, I've recently changed my front U-joints, link kits and brakes on my 2000 XJ. The problem is that I've noticed a noise (clunk) when I'm turning left... I can almost feel it at my feet when it happens. I've also noticed that it won't happen at low speed... and sometimes nothing happens at all. It's kinda weird. Anyone had that problem? Thanks.

Double check & triple check your work. Are the U-joints tight?
Is the wheel bearing up in its place? No funny angle or space?
Brake caliper bolts in tight?
Brake pads seated correctly?
Did you install new brake rotors? Are they the correct rotor?

Steering gear box? Is it tight against the frame?
Drag link tight? Loose ball joint?
Track bar tight? Loose ball joint?
Is the track bar mount still welded correctly to the frame?

Is the Jeep lifted or modified in anyway?
