Default Crossmember going out?

Is that posssible? recently i been hearing clunking noise from the front when i take off or shift, the 2 front axles are brand new so i doubt it would be that, if anything, what else would it be? all i could think of is the xmember, Lmk what you guys think it is, i can give you more additional info if needed, thanks!

Hmm il check that but when i was inspecting for the prob my motor was really stiff and it felt like my mounts were fine. But il double check, The sound is like some sort of clunk mixed with a pop, like a axle popping into place, haha its like a really bad case of dash hop except its something from the front suspension

Check your front strut rod bushings, Lower & upper ball joints.

Make sure all your suspension is tight. When your axles were replaced something could have been left loose.

This same problem just happened to some guy I know I chacked all his suspension and everything seemed to be cool until I checked his main nut that connects his axel to the hub and the IDIOT that had done his axels has left this loose so you might want to check that.

Basically look for anything loose on the front end. This could very easily be caused by a loose motor mount or a loose radius arm.

Just jack the front end up and start hunting.
