Need a Spot

So I did a search here and found a little, but not a lot.

On my 91 Montero I occasionally hear a clunk in the front kind of under the passenger seat area. It definitely squeaks here and there. Seems like the clunking is a mystery from other posts Ive read...

I lube the entire chassis per the manual. Some cracked rubber, so I know that stuff will need replacing.

As for the clunking. Could that be the lower ball joints? How can I tell?

Or do you all have other suggestions?

Put on a lift and move the parts underneath. In mind I had an annoying clunk when the suspension cycled. Turned out to be worn bushings on the front anti-sway bars.
