Ok I'm getting a "clunk" noise when I hit bumps. Mostly little bumps. I had recently done longtubes and ORY a week or two before I noticed it making the noise. I've had it back up on the lift twice now looking for what's making the noise. It is NOT the exhaust, not any part of it, I checked very thoroughly. It sounded so much like heavy stainless steel bouncing on a crossmember. It's like a morse code sound but with little thuds when driving down a road with a bunch of little pot holes, pavement gaps, and big tar strips. Is the steering shaft the most likely candidate? It's on 05 Z-71 with 113k
