Took my hard top off today, and promptly noticed on a drive around town a distinct clunk or knock coming from the front driver's side periodically. I took off the wheel and checked all the bolts, linkage, steering, track bar, etc., and found nothing loose or out of place. Anyone got any ideas of what to zero in on to look for what might be the cause of this intermittent clunk/knock? It seems I can cause this clunk/knock by accelerating, most of the time, but it can happen from time to time while just driving regularly.
Hard to say if it was doing this previously, and just didn't hear it due to the hard top...2004 Rubicon/auto/21k miles.
There was no movement in the front wheel bearing as far as play side to side or up and down.
Also, I checked the torque on all the control arm bolts per this chart:

They were all at the proper torque.
