Clanging sound when going over a bump

Got an annoying clanging sound coming some where fro the front end I think when going over a bump or hitting a pot hole, seems to be on the left side as if I drive just the right hand wheels over the speen bump no noise, but of all whhels go over, get a loud clang?

I had a 2 inch lift put in it about 6 months ago and a new torque converter at the begining of the year, any suggestions would be appreicated..

Check all sway bar bushes under the vehicle they might not be tight enough and check if the rubber bush is intact it might just be the washers jingling together


Just tap it in just tappy tappy tappy

Maybe check the brake dust shield or the shockers top tube could have broken from the welds?

This can happen from an overloaded vehicle I think...

Also make sure the front springs are seated correctly. If they are not lined up with the spring mounts properly they can be noisy. Check all your radius arm and panhard rod nuts and bolts for tightness.

Check the radius arm bolts. How long has it been going on for? Is it worse when wet?

I have read the manual and can not find any reference to radius arms? where are they and or are they called by a different name?

There the arms which go from chassis to front axle..
The 2 bushes on the bottom of each are were caster is set. These take mode the force and flex when your axle moves, and one of mine was loose.. it had flogged the bolt out, but thankfully not the mount as that bits not changeable..

Get a mate to jump on your bull bar while you climb underneath and inspect it all...

my bet is its the rubber cushion on top the coil has shifted and now the coil is vibrating on the mount have a look on top the coil and make sure its not twisted or sliding out .
