Are you sure it couldn't just be something rattling around in the trunk?
This happened to a friend of mine. He drove the car around for years with a clunk when he made a turn. Went through the whole car hundreds of times over the years, and never found anything. One day he got a flat, and found a can of "Fix-a Flat" lose, and rolling around in the space under the spare tire, in the trunk. It was metal, to metal withthe can rolling back and forth. He removed the can, and secured it somewhere else. Needless to say, that was the end of the "clunk" when he made turn...
Reason I menton this is because he was driving a Mercedes, a 123 car, and always thought it could be coming from the rear doors also. He had them checked. It had something to do withthe way the sound must have resonated through the body, and made it sound like it was right in the door areas of the car.... Just a thought, and worth atleast checking out. How often do we really ever look under our spare tire, in the trunk, unless we get a flat tire?
