Is the LCA the “Coffin” control arm? I’ve replaced that recently, but not the longer (trailing?) arm as circled in the photo attached. Could it not be the sensors and this mechanical part instead?
Also, this sound comes from the front end, and not the rear…

Truthfully, if you're on dry haven't and on a street, it's really quite difficult to break the rear end loose. I'd be surprised if that's what's going on, unless you are intentionally trying to do so.
The "clunk" sound does happen during turns, it is only when going over bumps during straight line driving at low speeds. It's just another tell tale sign of a worn LCA.
