Re: btw: 93 ZJ "clunk" in front axle
You should be checking this out sooner than later, if it's a ball joint
failing your tire can fall off, same if a wheel bearing blows out.
You can jack up the front and if it's a wheel bearing the wheel will be
flopping around.
You can go under while someone cuts the steering from side pin to side
pin and watch the top and bottom ball joints. If you see vertical
movement in their joints or if their is rust coming out around the
rubber boots, they are about to fail.
While doing the above side to side with the steering, watch the track
bar that goes from a bushing on the passenger side axle up to a ball
joint on the drivers side frame. If the bushing is bad on the axle, you
will see movement, same for up at the frame ball joint.

Re: 93 ZJ "clunk" in front axle
That is called the death wobble....
Yes it can be caused by a bad track bar bushing or ball joint and all
the other things mentioned including a bad steering damper shock.
