I have been having this issue since the end of winter that I nor the dealer can pin down. I have a Mopar lift with stock tires and everything has been retorqued. This happens when accelerating between 5-10mph while turning left or right or accelerating up an incline. From what I can tell the clunk is coming from the area of the carrier bearing back.

Probably will need more information, like the mileage and model. Some of the limited slip axles can develop noise in turns while accelerating because of wear in the limited slip differential. I would look carefully at the fluid condition. If it is darkened, I would service the differential with fresh gear oil and limited slip additive. If there is any sparkle in the fluid, I would pull the cover off and carefully inspect the condition of the side gears and pinion gears for chips and other signs of damage like scoring.
