Well I took the ZJ out for a little test drive. Just over random street bumps. The front made some sort of clunking noises. This bad? Or is it just the BB on the springs?

Others had suggested that it might be the bump stop cups or the sway bar rubbing on the frame but i checked and it isnt

Anyone have any expert advise
its getting really anoying

Please I really need your help.

Thanks

Moved to newbie-tech.


I'm betting you have a lose shock, did you replace the shocks?

Sway bar bolted down tight?

I'd get downt here with a BFH and try to find anything lose.

2nd on the shocks. Make sure the important stuff is tight first: CA bolts, trackbar bracket. Not sure of how big of a lift you installed and what all you replaced. Good luck.

still having problems, Checked everything tightened everything still no luck.

When going over speed bumps kinda crooked is it sounds the worst. And then when the back comes over sounds like it is coming down and slamming down making a very loud noise.

But the noises still happen on normal street bumps too


Thinking about the bar pin eliminators but dont have the money right now.

Anyone else?

Do you have your front sway bar connected? If so, did you get extended links?

Try disconnecting the swaybar and see if the noise stops.

I'd bet its either your links are too short or your swaybar bushings are worn out.
