I was referring to some gromets on the front endsteering control arms, I think control arms?. I noticed it on the lift the other day. A small part of the rubber or I think plastic grommet left a space between the two componets. I am still tracking down the original sound that made me look in the first place.
got a picture? Sounds like you may be describing broken end links. Look anything like this?

Its not the part that is pulled a part but the larger swing arm. The plastic or rubber on each end of the swing arm connecting bolt. The outer edges are chipped away around its outer edge. . It isn't critical but more a winter job.
