Quote: To me it it’s worse on bumpy roads especially on a dirt road with washboards but if it’s a good road in town it’s not as bad but still does it. Could motor mounts be the cause?
I would think it's a low probability, but it's easy to check by seeing if the noise changes or occurs when the engines under load, coasting, or engine braking.

I jammed a rubber exhaust hanger under my tailpipe between it and the crossmember. Fixed it. This was done after a new transmission mount did not fix it. Does it happen when you drive straight or turn?

It doesn’t seem to get any worse when I’m turning.

I haven't seen the Track Bar mentioned yet, so another place to look. Also check the mounts, not just the bar itself. I had a loose bolt on the frame side mount that created a clunking sound due to shift in the mount itself, even though track bar was snug.

It ended up being the flex joint on my rough country lower control arm.
