Okay so , my 93 Jimmy is definitely having issues in the front end , my husband is a mechanic , he's been though it , can't find out why it's clunking really bad , it's 100% coming from the left side , the lower ball joints have been replaced (Moog) , sway bar bushings ext , I was told to look at the torsion bar, but I'm not sure ? Little help ?

I once had the rear torsion anchor on my 92 go bad. Every time I'd go over a bump I'd feel a big thwack.

The idler arms are also known to go out.

Eveything in the front suspension has been looked though , that's the thing ... I mean ya the shocks are done pretty much that's my next step , I know that will make an improvement for sure , but that's definitely not the source .. I'm tempted just to take the whole front end apart at this point lol

Sway bar bushings? When the rubber is crumbling off and it falls out it can do clunks.
Also check engine mounts - not the first time that an exhaust hits the frame because of bad engine mounts.

Check on all bushings. Also while driving it may be reproduced in always the same driving situation? Braking, Turn and brake. Backup and brake. Backup, turn and brake.
