Replaced shocks, removed swap bar, checked spring mounts, isolators, ball joint boots, everything I can think of but cant for the life of me solve it.
Tighten up the track bar bracket on the driver's side frame rail just for giggles.

It's been a while since I've been on but the better part of 21 years is finally catching up as in the last two weeks, it's needed the ignition switch and distributor (completely different breakdowns, i promise) replaced, usually maintenance such as oil change and a tune up, and also a flat repair. Never good spending the majority of time at work fixing my own vehicle but she's good now

I too have a metal to metal groan. I found mine was the flex joints on my control arms needing grease.
