LCA? Bearing? Clunking..
New to the evolution and recently purchased an VIII. Drove it back home through 5 states, 14 hours and was fine. I have not launched it since purchased. I've done a couple highway pulls from 60-100 buy maybe a half dozen times to feel it out.
Not much on the suspension is aftermarket, though not entirely sure on OEM replacements. Newer whiteline roll center kit, tie rods reported newer and fortune 500 coilovers.
Needless to say, when getting into boost at higher RPMs there's a clunking from the front. Dont notice anything at slower/low rpms. Havent driven to much since I felt it so I cant at the moment report if it's the same with no boost at higher RPMs, but will check.
Any advice?

Hello / Welcome
Before pulling the wheels, check for front bearing play while its on jacks
Check the CV boots & make sure they are not failed (possible CV joint noise?). Check for any slop in the axles going into the hubs
Check sway bar & tie rod connections
Might be something very simple or could be worn front end components

Forgot to mention that it has DSS level 2 axles on it.
Other than that, I will for sure check over what you've suggested.
