Hello All! I have developed a clunk and rattle in waht I thing is the front since last time I went offroading. I broke a swaybar link in the front so I replaced it today and tightened the other and the noise is stll there. When I first start the truck it makes the noise (the engine kind of shakes at start) and it makes it over bumps. So it sounds like somethng may have come loose? I want to find it before it causes real problems. Everything drives fine and once it is running the engine sounds fine, so I feel it has to be something in suspension (??) that is in the front close to the engine? any ideas?

when I get home I will jack it up and shake the wheel to see if anything feels loose. it feels like it ison the drivers side.
 






It could be a bad motor mount. That is what I am getting.
