Default Suspension Noise

Good morning,

When I make a 90 degree turn off, say, a dual highway across the lanes, and the weight of the vehicle quickly shifts from one side to the next, I get a loud thud! Any thoughts? It’s normally on left hand turns so the weight shifting quickly from driver to passenger side. Thanks guys!

Get that thing up on jack stands and start pushing and shoving on parts. Get an assistant to move the steering wheel from lock to lock. Watch for bad stuff.

Might be bad engine mounts.
