Front Popping/Clunking/Slamming W/E
Well i have been with this problem for awhile now it is really beginning to **** me off. described as popping mostly during take off and strong swooping left turns. well today i went under my jeep in the parking lot at school and shook every last thing i could here is what i got to say please respond if it could be the culprit
Right lower control arm wiggles back and forth slightly (turning motion)
Exhaust kind of close to underbody side rail
bearings at entrance of front differential bad causing slight wiggle
small squeak when pushing up on transfer case

How are your motor mounts? The torquing of the engine could be banging the exhaust into the frame rail. Is it just on loud pop? Or multiple pops? That loose lca could definitely make some noise too.

I have the exact same noise!!! I still haven't found it! I replaced wheel hubs and everything, I think its my motor or tans mounts on a slight hill tilting the vehicle to the right I can hear it constantly, but if I hold my shifter to the left or right it stops

Yeah check the engine and tranny mounts. The squeak when you push up on the TC may point to a bad tranny mount. Could also be a million other things though.... Hah

It seems we have similar issues im going to check my tranny mounts because when I hold the shifter ( 5spd) it stops, back to his is it a pop or a thud ? I made a video of it ill post when I get home
