Default can feel slight knocking through steering wheel?

I recently installed some coil spacers, and now I feel a slight knock through the steering wheel when i hit bumps in the road. I am not sure if it is an issue with the steering, or if that is just where I can feel it.
Im sure it may be something as simple is a loose bolt somewhere, but IM not really sure where to begin to look. I am not exacally sure what "axle chatter" is, or if this could be what I am experiencing. I have been trying to ignor it due to having a really busy week, but i got some time now and I would like to go have a look and hopefully find the solution to this issue. Im going to go give it a wash becasue its covered in Georgia red clay, and then do some looking underneath, but if someone could tell me where I may need to look. I know I'm not giving you much to go on, but figure if anyone has had a similar issue or felt what im experienceing, this is where I'd find you.
Preciate all the help I can get, thanks.

Default steering clunk be gone!!!

posted in quite a few threads looking for advice on this product from Misch 4X4: Steering Chatter Eliminator

I spoke with the owner and he explains exactly why this happens once the vehicle heats up and it makes perfect sense but I wanted to see if anyone has tried this yet?

Interesting product!! I had my shaft replaced and it fixed the problem for about six months now my clunking is back. I am also interested if anyone has tried this yet.
