I don’t know how to tag someone, but @MRanderson was correct when he said the nut on the sway bar link was loose! I double checked mine after reading his story, and I didn’t see anything loose near the drop down bracket. After further investigation it was on the link itself, and not the bracket. Here’s a picture and video of what was wrong on mine. I’m not saying this is causing everyone’s clunking, but huge thanks to mranderson to giving us his feedback first!

That clunking noise is constant?

No, I should have clarified. Mechanic wanted to show me exactly what was clunking. They rocked the bronco back and fourth to imitate the noise. I’m definitely more of a visual learner than just having someone say yeah it’s this. I wanted to know what they fixed. Luckily it was something simple!

After enhancing the Video , its the actual Link ( Heim joint ? )where it attaches that is loose . What is that Link Attached to , that black bar ? Sway Bar ?

Wont take long for it to wallow out that Hole where it's attached .

Yah dude! I’m stoked that helped! Mines been holding up well so far.

I’m pretty familiar with the suspension on the car so if anyone has questions DM me and I’ll respond back.

Have you thought of adding other after market sway bars? One of the issues I had was the sway bar being loose but I also have a squealing noise that has dissipated a little over time, but it’s still there. Driving me nuts that I can’t find it. The lift looks clean though and I don’t want to take it off for a squeal.

Just wondering if you ever fixed that by tightening it or if you’re still running the RC lift? I just recently put one on over a year after this video it looks like and within ~40 hours my has clanking in the front left side maybe right, or even both. Just wondering what you did? I ordered the HRG lift too because that was has (from what I’ve seen) had 1000% success rate.
