Default Roll Cage 'clanks'

Sorry, forgot to add this to previous post.

Roll cage clanks really loudly, even on relatively smooth terrain (my lawn) no matter how much I tighten the bolts. I know it is the cage because if I hold while driving the noise stops. Drive's me nuts. I can grab the front roll bar and move it up and down about 1/16", so I think that is the clank. Took it all apart, wrapt ends in friction tape, but it did not help. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

probably the holes in the posts that the cage bolts to are wallowed out. you might want to take the bars off and check that out. ive either redrilled and put larger bolts or tack welded the main bars to the posts they bolt to.

I welded the side and center bars from upper cage to the body due to the same clanking. I only welded about a 10mm on each side in case I have to cut and replace the bars.
