I know its not track bar and not steering related cause i can only get the sound while driving somewhat hard, narrowed it down to control arms but idk which one and the shackle boxes i have might be getting loose too or the bushings. just have to last me 2 months till i test the quality of my hobart welder

Looked at the trac bar bracket bolts, couldn't get them any tighter. Looked at the sway bar bolts, same thing. Some of the bushings on some parts could be replaced, but they aren't completely gone. I have no idea where that sound came from. It hasn't happened again either. I'm confused.
