look where your steering shaft goes through the fire wall...there is a bushing there and I never had one 
and thats where mine was clunking. You can see the ammount of play i had in mine. it took me about a year to find it. this is where my clunk was. hope this helps. 
This was it with gravity working.
I was lifting it up as far as i could.

Steering boxes have been a common repair needed on several friends Rubicons I know. Hopefully you're under warranty cause nothing is cheap when your wallet needs to crack open at the dealership.
