from front end when i hit even minor bumps i hear a clunking sound from front end-tranny was rebuilt a year ago and i think its because of that i replaced shocks but it seems to get worse any ideas,anything i could tighten or lube or check for wear?, thanks
Did this "clunking" start occurring right after the tranny fix? If so, I would look at the trans mounts..

ISTR an issue with a bush or linkage at the bottom of the steering column affecting Explorers circa 1998/99.

Yes, I have the same noise in my 98 and that is what I figure it is - a bushing/joint on the steering rod. I believe Ford upgraded the part but I'm not sure of the exact part number or the procedure to replace it. Do you have any additional DIY info?
