Default Front end low/medium-pitch clunk

I've recently started hearing a clunk (about a month or so ago) in my front end toward my driver side wheel/frame I could not pin point it, I could feel it in my accelerator pedal and slightly in the steering wheel. Hitting a bump over 35/40 causes me death wobble
I have tightened the **** out of the track bar mounting bracket on the frame side, and checked the wheel for ball joint and u-joint issues, the ball joints are brand new (I replaced them with heavy duty ones) and the front end does not have U-joints but CV-Joints .
I am at a loss and am contemplating taking it to a shop that is well-versed with Jeeps and such.

When I give her some gas while turning at full lock, she seems to jerk or shift, the car is not in any transfer case setting nor is it stuck in 4WD ( I know that is very common and the solution to it)

Driving slowly causes a lower pitch clunk, when getting up to speed the clunk seems to get faster and higher pitched.

What could this possibly? What can I do to diagnose this myself ? I have replaced the entire front end last summer with Rusty's OTK steering linkage and tie rods, a JKS Adjustable track bar and Rubicon Express LCAs.
