Hello , i am new to the forum. I used to own a yj and xj before , 3 days ago I boihht this 06 4.0 with 117 miles automatic 4.5 lift on 33s [i was told its a 4.5] and notice a metal to metal hittind sound while driving coming from passanger side behind the dash . If i move the ac lines going to to the passanger side, they are easily moving around and sounds like something is hitting inside dash. I also notice a loud air noise coming from same location while diving high speed. While at high speed the air sound is so much you cannot really hear someone talking, kind of like if the top was off. Any advice on how to tackle this ? Thank you all

This is a hard one to solve over the internet 
So, I would try pulling the glove box and see if your sound gets more intense/loud and it might be easier to pinpoint. Maybe have a friend sit shotgun and try to listen around?

Yes i asume that is the noise , something in there might be broke. Anyone know who dificult it is to get to those lines from the dash ? And what is there exactly on the other side that is hitting ? Another metalic canister thats no secured ? Also feel a sponge under the dash and passager and feel lots of air coming in , is that normal ?
That sponge might be there to take the place of your missing gasket. It having worn out or shifted allowing the A/C lines to rub and the air from the engine bay to stream in also.
