Default clunking/shaking/shudder on hard left turns

I'm getting a clunking/shaking/shudder on hard left turns. If I take the turn off throttle, the car seems to shake and shudder like it's getting wheel hop when I accelerate out of the turn. on throttle, it oversteers more than I think it should. Both of these only happen on left turns.

I thought it was a suspension issue, so i raised the car (it has JRZ coilovers) but it didn't help. Only does it on left turns. What do you guys think? Axle? Diff?

Do you have an aftermarket anti sway bar? If so, check that the end links are tight.

The Tech didn't tell me which Control arm it was. It sure was loud though. Sounded like someone was clanking a Cow Bell

Control arm, gear oil (happened in my Capri), rearend, or something I just don't know. Also check the tire pressure.
