Question New to the Forum I have a question

Hey, I'm new to the forum im sorry if im posting this in the wrong section but i have a 89 jeep cherokee laredo with 164k miles with a 4in skyjacker suspension lift on 31s i have a clunking noise in the front when i hit bumps its loud and when i turn it makes like a ginding sound when i bought the jeep it needed front u joints and a new battery. well i was driving home doing 50mph and the wheel came off so i had to replace the rotor on my driver side so i ended up doing front rotors, brake pads, wheel studs, u joints. Anyone have a clue what this clunking may be? thanks for the help in advance.
