You may already know, but I've been reading about FDU failures and apparently because there's so little fluid (less than a quart as I understand it) in there that any leaking can be a big problem.
A shockingly small amount! I just cleaned the area front/rear and will watch it over the next few days. Going to order oil, top off, and wrap tape around the plugs before putting them back in

Definitely concerned about it considering the amount of wheeling I do + I love deep water crossings

Guess not just one side making the noise even if I push up down on drivers side will make the noise.

That’s a serious clunk. Are the upper shock tower bolts loose?

I had a sound just like that and my right front shock bolts were loose

Sound almost reminds me of basketball bouncing on the floor

The way you’re shaking it is the exact same shake I did when I finally figured out it was the upper shock bolts
