Default clunk noise

its coming from the front end, when i put my jeep in reverse and turn while going backwards

im assuming ball joints are the culprit, but i was told the front sway bar bushings are worn...would that cause a clunk noise or not?

Have you been running in 4WD? If so, did the TC cleanly come out of 4WD when you disengaged it.

It may be your front axle U-Joint(s) clunking. Worth checking.
