Weird noises/clunks

I've started hearing, and more feeling, some weird noises and clunks on my 96 after I lifted it, and it's becoming more frequent now.

It's by either tire, I feel it either when backing out of my driveway, or when parking (whenever the wheel could be turned all the way to one direction).
I'm thinking it could either be balljoint or cv. Any ideas? :scared::frusty:

Have you greased the zerk inside the double cardan joint on the rear driveshaft? You have to rotate the shaft a different way than you have to for the 2 on the outside. I didn't even know it was there for a long time.
 
CV axle's that were getting worn are always pissed after you lift over 2".

Did you do a diff drop with your lift? Have you checked the CV axle?
 
Did you turn the front coil springs to the sweet spot where it wont hit the upper ball joint?

Also, check you sway bar end links.

Also thinking about the zerks. I am going to grease all them once it gets a bit warmer.

No diff drop because I only have about 2.5 in the front, and the angle is fine.

I was thinking it also could be sway links, since once is broken.
 
I would first start with that broken Sway Bar link.
Cheap, and it needs to be replaced regardless.
Then report back if the problem/noise still exists.
