front end noise

I have a 2000 XLT 4x4, and recently the front end starting clunking.Small bumps big bumps it doesnt matter it rattles pretty good.Shocks are good, ball joints are good, u-joints are good, sway bar seems tight.Anybody else go through this or any ideas?

It's really easy to eliminate the swaybar by disconnecting one side then testing. Is your vehicle lifted?

Is it when you are going straight or turning?

Wheel bearing going bad?...just a thought since you mentioned my other suspects as being good...

good luck,

theres no lift kit everything looks stock.I jacked up the front end and checked for play everything seems tight.It rides like the shocks are bad, but I dont think they are.I've only had it a year, maybe it's supposed to ride like a bus (ha ha).

Springs?

Sounds like your springs are causing the frontend to bottom out-is it hitting the bumpers above the springs-Mine does if I hit a speed bump too fast.
