Default clicking when rocking

09 2dr auto, have teraflex 2.5 lift blisteen shocks and toyo mt 35s, jks quick discos.
when i rock my jeep side to side or bounce the front bumper there is a click/pop coming from the front passenger side. if i hold on to the front bumper and bounce it I can feel the pop, it is currently less thank 20 degrees outside with snowt so I dont really have the option of getting under there and taking a super great look, just hoping that you all might have a good place to start looking or any kind of insight.

Check the sway bar links. Mine have came loose a few times and makes the noise you mentioned

Also try shaking your Trackbar and see if there's any play

There are quite a few culprits that are sorta difficult to diagnose.. I would definitely pay some attention to both mounting bolts for the track bar and then tighten the steering stabilizer while you are at it. Ive had issues with both after upgrading components. Thought I had them tight enough but needed that extra umpf!

Shock bolts, trackbar bolts, control arm bolts, swaybar link bolts, etc., probably need to be retorqued.

Finding a big enough wrench is difficult. I use a pipe wrench (kind of a crude tool). I don't believe you can overtorque them, but I could be wrong.
