Default Loud clunking

So today when going slow i hear a loud clunk. not sure where its coming from though but it sounds like the front end. happens when im turning more so. Any idea what it could be. im not sure if it is realted to the fatc that my transfer case shifter broke and maybe its not fully into 2 wheel drive or something? no idea. any input would be great

do you have auto locking hubs, or manual locking hubs? if they're manual, were they locked in when it was clunking in the front end?

Check your radius arm bushings and U joints.

Did you forget to untie the dog's leash from the bumper again?

They are auto locking hubs. And yes it seems like the front end is what was clunking. It never did this before i broke the transfer case shift lever though
