Thunk/clunk in the front end
I feel a thunk/clunk in the front end, I feel it when just driving down a smooth road, mostly feel, no noise.
I also can feel it through the steering wheel if I move the wheel back and forth kinda quickly.
I checked and could not find anything loose on the front, any ideas?
I have a 3/4 in spacers up front, did not notice this until after the spacers were in about a month or so.
Thanks.

Sounds like you have the typical steering clunk many Jeep JK owners get. Could be caused by a number of weakenesses in the JK's front end. I recommend doing a search, you will find lots of advice. What fixed mine was a new intermediate shaft, box, and northridge bolt kit. Next stop will be better balljoints and a steering brace.
