"clicking" in the front end :video:
Hey guys.
Need some help here. I cant seem to find the source of this noise. I havent been home much lately to really spend any time under the Jeep.
Ideas for me to check when I get a chance? Hopefully someone is confident that they know what it is.
Goes away completely under any acceleration.

Yep you were Bang on Collins!
I could easily move my sway bar by hand, the bushings were so shot, it was loose and banging against the "frame".
Moog replacement bushings, and 5 minutes of work, all gone! Glad I got to this, not only the sound is gone, but the front feels more tight.

I'd check your track bar at the point where it mounts to the frame. My 90 has had this problem and it was right at the ball joint. Now I've got noise coming from the rear after braking then acceleration. I'm thinking bushings on leaf springs but shouldn't be hard to figure out. Good luck on your journeys.
