Check your track bar. Sometimes you can feel that knocking when it's wore out. depend on the kind of clanking your hearing and under what surcomstance.

sway bar links/ bushings, shocks would be a good spot to start looking

i have a nice looking track bar on it an i dont have the sway bars on currently an the upper control arm on the right side has been broken since thanks giving
but thanks for the pic it will help

Fix your control arm!

that pic is pretty good. It has an aftermarket trackbar bracket welded to the uniframe. If you have a stock trackbar bracket, you should tighten up the bolts, they come loose. Some people even weld the factory bracket to the body.

ya i know i know but it still drives fine with the upper arm broke

sthon

You don't think that is the cause of your noise?

xj4banger

id fix that control arm first before tampering with anything else, 10 to 1 thats your noise

stev-o

i dont think its my control arm because it not even attached so it no there to bang around

sthon

Fix your damn control arm and keep that damn thing off the road until you do.

wow bro calm down now dont need to get carried away

sthon

Not trying to be a dick, but you ask questions about your front end making noise knowing your control arm is busted... Your rig is not safe to drive. Fix whats broken then if you still have issues ask for help.
