Default One clunk/POP! when backing out??

When I back out of my garage or a parking space, within the first 5-10 feet I'll get a clunk I can feel in the floor board.

But it's not always the same loudness and not always the same spot.

My CV axles are in great shape, 1 is only a week old. Pads and rotors are new.

Almost all my front balljoints and tie rods are MOOG and recent.

My sway bar bushings are a couple years old, but no huge gaps.

One thing is my camber may be off a bit, being in the negative territory. Would that put stress somewhere it shouldn't and it's shifting somewhere and popping?

I had a clunk once that was due to the bolts for one of the lower ball joints becoming loose.

Don't forget to check the body to frame mounts if you live in rusty area. One is right underneath your left foot.
