2013 jk clunk from front end
We are on vacation with our jeep and we started hearing a knocking/clunk when steering the jeep, and on some bumps, if we wiggle the steering wheel it looks like just the tie rod, moving up and down but not sure. Any ideas

Done any mods? Both times I lifted my Jeep my sway bar links came lose even with lock tight. Would clunk over speed bumps and curbs, and when the just rolled side to side in a corner. But if one of your tie rods really is moving up and down in the knuckle then take it in and get it fixed under warranty.

Update: went out this evening and I can wiggle the tie rod and drag links up and down very easily, which sounds like my clunk noise when turning and hitting bumps at slow speeds.
