2014 modded limited - clunk on passenger side

So I’ve had my 2014 limited about 2 weeks now. I’ve noticed a rattle or clunk sound that sounds like it’s coming from the passenger side. I thought I had it figured out yesterday. The previous person put a toytec boss kit with SPC upper control arms on but left the XREAS lines on and they were flinging around where the shocks used to connect. I ripped out the XREAS lines and system yesterday but today noticed the clunk over bigger road bumps etc is still there. It sounds like it’s coming from the front passenger side wheel well or under the hood somewhere. I have an off-road front bumper, I tapped around on it and notice nothing loose or banging. I also have a snorkel and checked where it goes through the fender under the hood etc and that thing is not loose or moving at all.

I’m not sure what else may be clunking. It doesn’t seem to be skid or anything either.

Any thoughts??

Sometimes the sounds travel through the frame or body and can be hard to locate based on where you hear them.

Look for other mods by the previous owner. See if anything is loose or misaligned. I've read about rear springs not seated properly, loose spare tire, loose tire jack in the cubby, lower rear shock bolts not fitting tight allowing the lower shock mount to shift, loose front coilover bolts (top or bottom)..

Thanks for the suggestions. I would check the rear stuff, but the sound is instant along with hitting a bump / hole with the front end, before the rear ever reaches the area. The sound is also coming from the front passenger area.

Can a ball joint make a clunk noise? Thats my only guess is maybe one of the ball joints on the SPC UCA is bad.
