Steering clunk

Juvenator93 · Oct 21, 2016

2015 2500 Hemi. Got it with 18.5k put a 2 1/2" level at 19k, currently at 24k. Noticed a clunk when I am stationary and give a quick pull left or right, more to the left. I guessing the track bar? Since I've read they are only good till about 20k. Anything else I should be checking? Going to have my wife turn the wheel while I get under there after work

https://vimeo.com/188346097I got a chance to get under the truck on my lunch break and the track bar does have some flex in it. But I noticed the most vibration from the clunk on the tie rod at the pitman arm??

after looking for the clunk more due to not being convinced it's my tie rod I now thing it's coming from the steering shaft u joint right above the steering gear box. Has anyone else had this issue? Not sure what to do now

I noticed my 2012 1500 had this same clunk and I found it was coming from the same place. Dealer said it was normal. Is it??? I went out and checked our 2002 Sierra 2500 work truck and it has the same clunk. Power off just grabbing the steering wheel and moving it.

did it, still doing it. Think it's the steering shaft u joint?https://vimeo.com/188377526I can't feel it on the tie rod when it's off but I can still feel it in the steering wheel. Fallowed the vibration to the u joint on the steering shaft right above the gear box. What do I do [emoji30]

I'm going to attempt to better find this clunk today. Buddy is gonna help me after I tow a car for him. Mrs will be off at work so I'm really gonna try and get to the bottom of this. Ridiculous that this is my 4th Dodge/Ram truck with steering clunks/issues. My 93 Dakota had em, my 01 1500, my 12 1500 and now my 15 2500. That's why I almost started to believe the stealer when they told me it was normal. Your guys' steering wheels don't do this do they? Any advise or input is greatly appreciated

I know it's been a month from your last post, but any luck? mine does the same exact thing, to the "T" clunk. I'm taking mine in tomorrow. I'm 100% confindent they're going to tell me it's normal.

Never really found how to make it go away. Buy everything seems solid and is tight. I don't feel it over bumps or when the suspension travels. So I'm just gonna live with it

Same here, over bumps, dips, turns, no problem. i won't get too bummed when the dealer says it's normal or tell me it's because of my leveling kit. If it would of just that issue, i woould cancel my appt. But i'm still taking it in for the A/C grinding/ vibration noise.
