Thunkin noise from passenger side.
I'm running a 4 inch rough country liftkit with 33's on a 96. not for sure what front axle I'm running differential cover looks kinda like a dana 44 but idk.
When I take off or turn either way, I hear a thunking noise. This is both with or without passengers. U joint looks old but still okay for now.
What else could be causing it?
Here's some pictures, sorry for the quality I'm using my laptops webcam cause its the only camera I have

If you are hearing a single 'thunk' I would be more inclined to first look at the control arm bushings. After that look at the ball joints.

It's multiple thunks until I straighten out or get up speed like 10 miles. Also if I'm cruising at low speeds like even creeping I hear no noise. I just put the tire back on and tried to get it to wiggle back and forth and it was solid. I'm not quite sure how to check the ball joints but if they are bad wouldn't the tire lean in or out?
EDIT: Sorry probably would be useful that I'm a total Newb to this
EDIT AGAIN: Okay so its starting to rain but here's what I found. It appears that the little rubber bushing piece is in pretty bad shape, the bottom one is fine. Would this be causing it?
