Ok. So every since I bought this truck about a month and a half ago. Its had a clunk when going over bumps. Done a lot of searching and checking for solutions. Few days ago I thought hmm. Maybe front shocks.I still had the old ones off my jimmy. So thought id swap them in and see. Did drivers side first and upon doing passengers side. I found the lower shock bolt to be just a tad loose. This was alowing the shock to move. Now the lower hole is kind of an oval. So the shock mount not being tight was the clunk. Still swapped in th other shocks. Really tightened down the lower bolt and nut. Noise is gone.
clunk in front suspension.

Im thinking the mechanic at the lot i bought mine at forgot andleft it a bit loose. First time i drove the truck it had so much wrong with it, there was no way i was going to buyit. It needed both front wheel bearings and all 4 brakes. They agreed to fix things i found worng. Im thinking he may have accidetally left it loose when doing wheel bearing on that side.
Glad i found it, now i need to swap the bilsteins back on and get the worn out shocks from my jimmy off there.

Shouldn't have had to take a shock off to do wheel bearings...
