i HAVE THIS CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT END. i HAVE CHECKED ALL MY TIE RODS TRACK BAR AND U-JOINTS AND I CAN'T FIND IT. IT HAPPENS WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND ONLY HAPPENS RIGHT AT THE INITIATION OF TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. aNYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS? ITS 01 XJ , 3" LIFT. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT! THANKS

 

Have you checked your sway bar bushings and links?? Also while your down there check your bearings.

 

X2 on sway bar. Check bushings and if the bolts are tight.

 

mine is doing the same.....mine is either the new 760x u-joint (2 months old) or the unit bearing is bad.....gonna get a mechanics opinion tomorrow.

 

Need to check your steering box spacer too. It's a piece of crap pot metal triangle spacer in between the steering box and frame rail. Common to break, causing your box to move around and could be causing your clunks. If it's not the sway bar bushings.

 

Does it do it when you are stopped, and turning it back and fourth? If so, you are in luck. Have someone do it while you investigate. If it is still hard to tell, start touching the TRE's, steering box, links, etc until you can really feel the noise

pull the box to see if the spacer is in one piece

 

Good suggestions.

And indoor voices please. This is the internet, we can all hear you perfectly clear.

 

lol ^^^^^ and swaybars maybe check ur ball joints to

 

Just an idea, can you feel the pop in the wheel when you hear it?

 

Mine does same thing.do not feel it in steering wheel though. I did think the sway bar look odd on drivers side.

 

Track Bar!!! Double check it!

 

some good ideas here....going to check mine out a little more today.

i know mine isnt the sway bar as it isnt there. lol. also i cant hear mine while sitting still and turning the wheel....

 

It's honestly a jeep thing. Just keep driving

 

x2.
