Ok first its a 97 XJ 4.0L auto 4x4 3.5" RE combo lift on 33x12.50xR15 KM2s.
I have been chasing down a clunking noise coming mainly from the front passenger side of the Jeep but sometimes from both sides same noise. I have changed both front axle u-joints, both wheel bearings, upper control arms and axle end bushings, lower control arms, track bar, sway bar bushings, and the bushings in my JKS quick disconnects. I have also checked the bushing in my RE monotube shocks and there is zero slope. I have literally addressed everything on the Jeep except ball joints and when I checked them there was only the most minor amount of movement not like the kind of movement seen in youtube videos of jeeps with bad balljoints.
The clunking only comes when I hit small sharp bumps like rumble strips before a 4 way stop or on the side of the highway. There are not popping noises when turning and the noise only occurs while the jeep is moving.
Any help would be great since this is driving me crazy!
