front end clunk?

dunstan74 · Apr 7, 2016

As the title says i have a clunk in my front end...

It only appears when hitting bumps at slow speed and can be reproduced by rocking my jeep side to side, however if i disconnect my sway bar links the sound goes away.
Everything is torqued to spec so I'm thinking its the links that are causing it, is it possible for OEM links to go bad and cause this sound? or am i missing something else entirely?

Your symptom and description is very indicative of sway bar links. Sometimes when they make noise, you can't even feel any play in them by hand either. You probably have a bad link it sounds like.

How many miles on the Jeep and I assume you use it offroad often if low miles?

Agreed. Check your sway bar link ends

Spray some lithium grease on those swaybar disconnects. Keep em lubbed
