After watching the front end diagnosis video, I have found one bushing in my track bar worn, and a CV joint in my passenger side axle toast. Hopfully, this fixes it.

I still plan on doing the urethane bushing kit, 19/60 springs and hardware upgrade kit. But at least this gets me started and running smooth for now.

Finally! besides a little steering shaft knock. I have my front end clunk fixed. I guess it was the trackbar and U joint mixing together. jeep feels way more solid too.
