    Front end clunking noise

    Yea. Gonna have the wife move it. Seems like the noise is on driver side. But might be diff. Is there a way to check the fluid? Also, with it jacked up, I spin the tire and can hear a slight tick tick. Could the hub bearing be bad?

    Front end clunking noise

    So I replaced lower ball joints and the noise is still there. It makes a loud banging noise if I have the wheel turned to the right slightly and back up slowly. Then pull forward again still leaving wheel in same spot and bang bang. Does it again. Any ideas? Going nuts!!

    The sound is coming from driver side. And I already replaced the cv axle. Sound is driving me nuts!! Guess I'll look into replacing the rack. Anyone know of a write up on a rack replacement?

    Front end clunking noise

    Ok. So I am now in the process of replacing inner tie rod due to some play. Upon inspection I noticed the play is in the shaft that the inner tie rod connects to. Also there is pink grease everywhere inside the inner rod boot. Should there be play on that steering shaft? (Can wiggle it side to...

    Front end clunking noise

    Thanks everyone. I still haven't replaced lower ball joints but can't see any play in them if I move the tire at 12 & 6. How can I check the caliper slide? And finally, yes have bounced the truck up and down and side to side. I can't replicate the noise at all unless I start backing out of my...

    Front end clunking noise

    So I found that the sway bar bushings are cracked and broken. The parts store had two sets. One for a 32mm bar and one for 33 or 34 I think. Does anyone know what size mine is? 04 1500 4x4 qc. Thanks

    Front end clunking noise

    Thanks for the fast response. Its not like a click click click like cv. More like a random clunk. How can I check the wheel hub?

    Front end clunking noise

    Hello everyone I have a 04 1500 4x4. At very low speeds there is a clunking sound on front drivers side. It only happens when backing up with the wheel turned and then going forward again. Like backing out of my driveway. Its usually three clunks while backing up then three when I start moving...
