Every so often when I cut the wheel hard while parking I hear this horrible clunking sound which sounds like its coming from the front end. Happens every so often and when I try to replicate it to narrow it down of course it doesn't happen. Any suggestions? 2017 Eacalade with 10k miles.

motor mount, sway bar end links or bushing, shocks, tie rods, ball joint, control arm. probably a good idea to get under the truck with a flashlight and take a look at what is going on before it gets worse.

I checked and personally do not see anything wrong.

Did you have someone else crank the steering wheel back and forth while you were looking, with the vehicle on the ground?

If you’re not comfortable under a running truck take a pry bar or big screwdriver and wiggle anywhere you see 2 pieces of the front end coming together. Does it sound like the right or left side? Also doesn’t hurt to check simple stuff like lug nuts.
