So going straight down the road there's no noise? And when you turn the wheel any amount left or right there's noise? Just tryna get this straight

its fine. and yes, not while going straight just with almost any turn of the wheel. could my trackbar be loose? i put the new mount in, ill have to double check tomorrow. my research showed the most common problem was the mount to the fender was loose next to the coil.

I could see that being the issue if it only clunked once maybe twice and seems like it'd only be one way (left turn or right) the way it sounds it seems like the tires are hitting something.

it started out as just to the left and didnt do it before i switched track bars. i think something is going on with it. maybe it was loose and now its reallyyyyyy loose. no bueno.

Wouldn't hurt to check of the TB is loose, but that in my mind anyhow would be like a single clunk when going left or right.

lol. how bout the bolt in durango box with a steering box brace? dukie's is damn near perfect. ill do a steering stabilizer(that apparently is lost in the mail from IRO which keeps happening to me) and a ZJ tie rod with new tie rod ends. full steering upgrade! hopefully she'll turn like a dream.
