Default Rear clunking

I've been having this problem for awhile, On low speed turns it will clunk going up to speed 60+ Totally smooth No loud bearing noise or rough sounds, Just when turning low speeds Anyone have any idea? It is lowered It has axle spacers toe arms can't figure this out

Thanks

Rear axle nut. Search axle nut TSB. You need to retorque the axle nut.

Something must be loose then. Check your sway bar endlinks? Sure you torqued the axle nuts to the correct torque settings?

Swaybar links are good Tightened up everything I've never used a torque wrench on the nuts Theres a little wedge on the nut i always just go a 1/4 turn from that
