Clunk driver side front under moderate to heavy braking

[At Risk Ute]

Got Teraflex so I was once again straightening the steering wheel via the drag link. Greased the sway bar endlinks and tightened the driver side swaybar endlink post / mount after noticing it was loose.

Getting a light clunk on the front driver side under moderate to heavy braking. Tie rod and drag link seem to be fine.

What do you all think? Have I finally wallowed out the aluminum steering knuckle?

‘21 Rubi. Over 20K miles with half the time spent wearing 3.5” lift and 37s. Lots of heavy wheeling.

Thots appreciated.

have you checked your torque on your control arms? check for any weld failures on the mounting points for the control arms. Check the front axle u-joints and the front drive shaft u joints for wear could be getting loose. and you can perform the ball joint squeeze test make sure you have no play

Thank you, Brian! ??????

Both front LCA bolts were loose. Could rotate my rock hard LCA skids. ??

always good to do a quick once over before wheeling each time. Good things always come from it
