          Lift kit with big tires?

          are you driving around in turf mode, 2wd or awd?

            Sounds like your cv shaft. Check to see if the cv boot cracked or tore

              Check the rubber bushing on the tie rods. We had some bad clunking noises on ours this year from the front. Got to looking and the rubber bushings had deteriorated to the point that it was metal on metal and was causing the clunking noise when we hit bumps and stuff. They were like $15 for a new set and a hour or so of time to install. Just something to check.

                    CV Joint. Make sure you get some A-Arm guards on that thing. It's very easy to get a stick jammed up there and tear a boot.

                      CV.The whole shaft is close to 300 each if you install yourself. It will eventually break completely after it starts popping really bad

                        Also, check the a-arm bushings all the way around. When they rot, they clunk all the time.

                          If it turns out to be bushings, order replacements from EPI, better quality than oem. It cv axle, check Amazon, I got two new axles for less than $135

                            Thanks for the heads up on the bushings, I need some in my Rangers front end.
