Ok so i have started to notice an odd clunking type of noise while Im driving 10mph or below. I have had the jeep lifted with a 3.5" RE Standard Kit (no arms) on 35's. I got under the jeep and took a look at what i could and i noticed that my drag link bar is somewhat loose. I understand that it should twist, but i can take it and wobble it slightly. Could this be a problem and if so would it cause my mystery noise? The sound dissipates after i go faster (probably due to road noise) I also have experienced a popping noise just every now and then when im turning a sharp corner.

Thanks to any who respond. I'm going to have the jeep looked at soon and i really would like some foreknowledge so I'm not lied to. (Had dealership tell me I should replace my Steering Stabilizer because it was bad, and that would fix any DW issue.)

just took another drive and it sounds more like a sqeaky clunk

Try tightening the living ba-jesus out of the track bar bolts. I tightened the bolts to spec and still had a clunking sound. I had a buddy grab the front bumper and rock the vehicle around like crazy until I could verify where the noise was coming from.

Have you looked at the u joints for the clunk?

How would you check this out?? Im having the same noise...

I had a nasty clunking noise on my '07. I had my son rock the jeep while I was under it and it turned out being where my sway bar links attached to the sway bar. The bolt rattled in the mounting hole. I wound up putting bushings in the sway bar and using shoulder bolts to eliminate the clunking.
Good Luck!

I had same noise and it was a loose swaybar disconect.

I had a "clunking" after installing my TF 2.5" coil lift. I went under and checked my control arms, one ended up being loose enough to move around in the joint, tightened it to spec (75 for upper, 125ft/lbs for lower) and solved that problem.

Did take me an hour to identify where the clunking was occurring though! Good luck!

interesting, my friend looked at my jeep as well and said it might have something to do with the sway bar and ends as well, I'll check that out again

Just check and see if the U joint is broke (caps off) on the axle shaft.
