Front end makes clunk/knock sound when turning slowly?

I don't know what the deal is with my truck. I have a 2021 Ram Bighorn, love it and it's my first truck. I had a 2 inch motofab level put in the front, just pucks nothing fancy but probably shouldn't have gone the less expensive route. It was completely fine up until a few months ago I noticed when I turn the wheel slowly like backing/pulling into a parking spot with the wheel not cut all the way, it makes a clunk and I can feel it in my steering wheel. It only does it once during the turn. I had my mechanic who put the level in look at it and he said everything looked and seemed fine including the sway bar I'm wondering if I should have the level taken out until I can lift it completely the expensive way or have a second opinion. Lmk if you've had the same issue or any ideas, thank you :)

This happened to me after a level... it was the front endlinks. For mine you could hear if if the truck was running and you had someone else turn the wheel while you listened near the wheels.

I have the same level. It wouldn’t cause this noise unless one of the bolts are loose.

I had a noise once, but it was the power steering. They fixed it with a software update. I can’t remember if it applied to 2021s tho
