Origonal ball joints; but no obvious damage or looseness. Have car up on blocks now trying to figure out what's bad. What am I missing?

If it is in the front end I would check the strut bushings, and the front end rubber bushings. If it is coming from the rear you might have a problem with your differential. Or you might have a locker in the rear end that locks when you make a sharp turn to keep all the tires in sink for off roading. If this doesn't help let me know and what is going on still. I will call a friend of mine, he has a jeep and he's a machanic also. I hope this helps?
