Track bar needs tightened. Have someone turn the wheels back and forth and put your hand on the steering components to feel where it is coming from

Clunking or clicking? Just a thought since it seems you've checked everything else. Is it possible you've had a locked front end and didn't know it?

Sounds like track bar/bolt.

Have someone turn the wheel and force the clunk while you check it out. Pay attention to where the track bar bolts to the axle mount.

Mine did the same thing. Good excuse to get an adjustable one.

Its like a grinding clunking sound, I can feel it on the floor, it only does it when im moving, I dont believe the front end is locked because my dads had it since 03 and never had this problem
