Default Driver side suspension popping

I am hearing a loud thump each time I roll over a decent sized bump on the road anywhere from 15+ mph.....I can not determine front or rear as it sounds as if the problem is somewhere in between??? My guess is front though. I will be taking it in tomorrow for a post lift once over, as it is overdue.
Any thoughts?

Your sway bar link or shock absorber grommet are broken. Both situations happened on my left and right front side. I had the same loud clunk sound. They should replace it for free.

Oh I didnt realize you have a lift...it could be something related to that then. Check the sways, drag-link, tie-rod

Could also be the door adjustment. Several here (including myself) have had this. Typically adjusting the door strikers gets rid of it.
Several threads are around on this topic, a search should pull them up.

i've recently started getting a clunking sound when i go over bumps as well. i'm pretty certain its the rear driverside door. i just need to get out an mess with the striker to see if it goes away.

(off topice, but) are you going to the Texas size jeep meet in march? check in the lonestar state staging area. there are about 7 of us leaving from SA.
