Default clunk clunk clunk I NEED HELP PLEASSSSE

So I bought a 2001 s2k about a month ago (78k miles). The cars been clunking a lot on low speed turns / low rpm turns only. And slightly clunks on higher gear turns also (3rd, 4th gear) not as noticeable as 1st and 2nd gear though. Not just one clunk either the car goes clunk clunk clunk clunk clunk until the cars straight. It also only does it when the clutch is released like when the cars in gear if I coast threw the turn clutch in or in neutral it doesn't do it.

I checked the CV buckets they were in great shape not pitted at all.

I did the axle nut fix, nothing.

My bushings all look fine.

Slight tear in my rear diff mount but no fluids leaking out ( going to replace soon)

What could this be?? Iv searched high and low and can't find anyone putting a finger on it.

If anyone has advice or things they've done to cure this issue please help I'm all ears.

is the car lowered?

did you check the end links?

do you have an exhaust? if so are all the hangers connected

jack your car up and check your bearings by shaking the wheel

are your front control arms about to tear out of the chassis?

I suppose you don't have a CEL thrown - do you?
It could be something as simple as a loose heatshield or your CAT broken maybe?

No, no cel, abs, oil light or any warning light. Everything with the car sounds perfect except the rear right of the car I don't get it
