almost sounds like a balljoint but i know thats not the case
cause i did those too...even replaced the shocks it all rides
better but i STILL cant figure out what it is.

ive greased the poly bushings thinking that was a contributing
factor.

its not happening on the drivers side...only the passenger side...
and you can feel it in the floor board when it pops.

i actually cant say if tightening the drop link bolt got it or not...
i drove it and dont remember hearing it...but ive not paid close enough
attn.

found out mine is the drivers lower ball joint... just not ganna replace it here anytime soon. maybe this summer. dealer says its not that bad.

yes, the floor board thump. that is what i meant by the loctite comment. i too thought it was loose and tried to tighten them.

Mine has the floorboard clunk too. Took a work truck back to dealer for a clunk and they said it was a body mount. Doesn't clunk anymore.

update --

Looks like i RESOLVED the problem, must have been the loose
drop link (lower bolt) that was thumping.

I have that same passenger side clunk. I am going to have to check those links as soon as it warms up.
