Default Suspension noise

HI.I have a 99 blazer 2WD,34K miles.When driving on a flat road it makes a sound like train wheels on a track,a click - clack.If I lift the fender (drivers side) a single metalic clunk is heard.It seems to happen most on flat roads when the suspension is relaxed,3 or 4 different sounds like the spring moving around? I can feel the popping part of the sound through the floorboard,but not the brakes or steering.Steers and tracks fine.

Thanks,Alex.

control arm bushings and/or bj have been known to cause sounds like this. also check the sway bar end links.

have the front end inspected (either by a shop or a friend who knows what they're doing) and go from there.

Mine is also making some noise now, kind of like a pop or knock while driving, the harder the road and the faster i go the loader and more frequent it gets.
