Could it be a bad motor mount? My neighbor had a clunking noise when accelerating and stopping due to a bad motor mount.

Everything looks tight, i pulled on the tire as much as i could, i could get it to clunk a little pushing and pulling on it.

My upper ball joints are new, lower ball joints are not, TRE's are tight and not binding,

Can the brake rotor get loose somehow and move around???

The wheel *should* be holding it tightly in place... That said, I'm beginning to wonder a little - while rotating the tires on the wifey's rig a week ago I noticed that her rotors had about 1/8" play on the studs... And I think that explains an intermittent braking vibration she gets.

I did some more tugging on the wheel today, it seems like the lower ball joint on the driver side may be moving around in the cup, ill be putting a used one on to see how it goes this weekend. I may have aggravated it a little last weekend hitting the whoops too fast with my 9inches of front suspension travel <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Although i did get a little careless a few months ago while changing the uppers and i let the driver side spindle just flop around on the lower ball joint, hopefully replacing it solves my worries. 1" TC uniballs sound nice, too much money for me though

Well had the driver side tire up off the ground today, ball joints look okay, TRE seems like it moves around alot more than the passenger side, which is new 2 years ago. The driver side looks like its the original, 115k on that one, half that time with 35s, probably due for a change...

Question which brand and where should i get them??
