21 lonestar clunking rearend

[Defender-Lonestar]

21 lonestar,  when I make a tight left turn i get a clunking noise from rear-end. Tight right turn only get a few clunk. Not sure if left rear cv is going bad or if it coming from gear box/ rear diff.

Jack up the rear end with the vehicle in neutral but safely blocked. Grab one rear wheel at a time and rock back and forth watching for unusual movement or clunk from the CV or the U joint, check the driveshaft for movement at the front of the diff and the U joint as well.

Does it make the noise when the rear diff is locked and turning, if yes it may be tire slippage. If it makes the noise with the rear end open (unlocked) it may be one of the above?

I did raise the rear and looked for obvious issues but everything seems normal. My best guess so far is left rear cv . I have one coming and will swap that first and see if it fixes it. What is the torque for the center axle nut?

Replaced left rear cv. Fixed the clunking sound but now I can hear the right side cv making some noise but nothing like the left. The left cv I removed feels fine may pull back the boots to see how it looks
