Default Suspension?

I was up mudding a noticed something that sounds like struts( obviously doesn't have them) banging around on front drivers side. I don't know if it is that or motor or trans mounts, or something with suspension. Any ideas.

Check the rivets that hold the bracket for the radius arm bushings. They started to loosen in my fathers 96 and over bumps it sounded like the frame was about to break the clunk was so solid.
