Default Noise after replacing bushings!!!!!

Ok......... This my first post and i'm new to the gto world but i've had my share of f bodies. So i replaced the subframe bushings and the rear cradle bushing with energy replacements. When i got done i drove around the shop a lil bit and up n down the road. Didn't hear any noise so it was all good. Got on the interstate and took off in 3rd doin 60. Ran up to about 140 and let off. No noises or nothin... Felt good! Come to my first corner and the damn thing is makin that clunk noise now. Any ideas on this would b greatly appreciated. Thanks

OK, where is the clunk coming from? from the rear? center? corner? the only time it happens is when turning right?

Did you do the rear lower control arm bushings and swaybar bushings as well?

Is it possible that your exhaust is bumping something?
