Help with Front end Pop-Solved! Finally.

Just check the nuts and torque them while ensuring the bolt does not adjust, which it shouldn't.

So with wheels on the ground, tighten both the inner and outer nuts?

Just tighten the outer nut, with a wrench holding the eccentric in place so that it doesn't try to rotate at all. With the weight of the vehicle on it, its unlikely that cranking down on the lock nut will be able to move the eccentric at all. If you have one, put a paint mark on it once you've torqued the lock nut.

Similar front end click here, see video below.

checked everything you checked - ball joints in great shape, new steering rack and tie rod ends, replaced diff mounts, new sway bar links and bushings, re torqued control arm bolts, took apart bearings, cvs in good shape

Today we got it on the four post and put tension on the front end to recreate the noise while I was under it. Weirdest thing - the click is resonating off if the cross member in front of the radiator. Not the body mounts, nothing in the driveline, not any of the suspension components

Just the furthest forward part of the frame - I’m stumped

There are 2 nuts on end of each bolt…do I tighten the big inner nut as tight as I can get it, and then tighten the outer locking nut? Or, just tighten the smaller outer nut as tight as I can get it. I’m using a 3/8” ratchet wrench with a copper pipe as an extension bar, by the way, to tighten. Not using power tools.

for me this issue was solved by lower control arm bushings

The large inner "nut" is an integral part of the alignment adjustment cam, and isn't threaded onto anything. It's hex shaped so that a wrench can be used to turn the cam to adjust the alignment. Unless you're intending to change the alignment, It should be held stationary with a wrench as you tighten the nut that's next to it.
