Found the source of the knocking

[TRAILN]

Loud knocking over bumps for the past two weeks and getting really loud now. First dry evening I could actually take a look and found the upper right ball joint has major play in it. Not bad for three years of wheeling it. Anybody know a ball park price?

My jeep makes all kinda of squeaks and rattles, sounds like an old ship inside, mostly coming from the rear. Although, my front has been relatively quiet.

I think about 290 I believe.

There's a guy on lost who made greasable joints.

Hmmm...Interesting thread (cool)

I think my rear is squeaking because my rustys shocks aren't fitting tight in the upper bushing. So I will be shortly switching to rancho shocks.

BTW, if I went with rancho shocks does anyone know what the part number I would need for a rancho shock with a 2.5" lift installed for the rear?

Dealer quoted me $230 (Can). Best part is I get a major discount when I go in there to order it.
