My question is, what is the torque box? Where is it? If my car clunks when turning, how do I know for sure that it's the torque box? It never made any sounds when turning, until a few months ago when i had it aligned. Now it makes a clunking noise when I turn, but only when I turn left. Could this be a problem with the torque box? If so, can it be fixed, or what should I do about it?

the Torque boxes are in the Back of the car were the control arms attach to the frame/body, if the noise is comeing from the front it's something different

if its coming from the back, it sounds like a broken rear sway bar or possible torque boxes.

Just get down and take a look at where the rear lower control arm connects to the unibody (not where is connects to the axle housing). If the torque box is torn it should be obvious.
I tore mine on the passenger side. Whenever I would start from a stop or step on the gas from a cruising speed it would clunk. Taking a look under the car it was obvious where it was torn.
