Clunking sound when accelerating and braking

[JennH]

Can you help us save our trip to Moab?? Our 22 Badlands is making a loud clunking sound when we accelerate and when we brake. We can feel it in the floorboard when it clunks too. We recently put 37’s on it with a 1.5” body lift and 1.5” spacers and removed the crash bars. We also put on the Broncbuster steering bushing. The noise didn’t exist before we had that work done so it’s likely related but a local shop can’t see any obvious problem. We had the work done in North Carolina but are currently in Wyoming, meeting up with friends and heading to Moab in 3 days. Has anyone had a similar experience or heard clunking when accelerating and braking? Thanks in advance for any insight!

CV joint or loose control arm bolt are the usually culprits

Water bottle under the seat.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Hi Dave! I can look into your Bronco's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?
