Clunking noise passenger side
amazing.
Just go's to show you can't assume anything.
I was under the impression that the 'whole' suspension was re built, as a ll new bushings and ball joints/idler/pitman etc..
There a lot of mechanics out there who are 'car guys' or just 'general' mechanics, but does not mean they sht about a mopar.......reminds me of a certain thread 'peoples car knowledge' LOL perfect example here where obviously a 'car guy' decided the upper ball joints are pressed and not threaded....
Let me know if can help you further, otherwise just weld it for now but sooner than later get a donor upper control arm to change it out with.
