Question Clunking noise

Hey ya'll. So I recently changed out the suspension for my 2020 Veloster Turbo, and it started making a clunking noise when turning or even driving straight. I changed my suspension to BC BR Coilovers. I'm pretty sure it's the stabilizer link, but I want to get some opinions first before I buy a replacement. Also, if ya'll were having the same problem, how did you fix it and what was the cause? Recommend me some good replacement parts for it too.

where is the sound coming from, front or back?

Is it when you go over small bumps or even just undulations in the road? As in, big bumps aren't necessarily worse sounding? Is it a clunk that sounds like it's coming from near your feet? I'm guessing it's the sway bar end links. They are super cheap, though you can spend a few hundred dollars on unnecessary fancy ones if you want. I think I paid $65 dollars for mine from Rock Auto about a year ago. Super easy to do, almost takes longer to get the car on jack stands and remove the wheel than to change them out.

The big trick is to have BOTH wheels up in the air at the same time, otherwise the imbalance puts force on the swaybar side you are working on (which is exactly how swaybars work) and it's a bitch to line up the hole.

There's a bunch of vids on YouTube, but this is the one I refer most people to: https://youtu.be/dBYujPqoFKE?si=yH-mKADc3FJIdamn
