Clunking Rattle Noise Coming From Front End

[FTMike]

I have a 2006 Ram 1500 2wd. I have a clunking rattle noise coming from the front end when going over bumps. It goes away when I'm either barely or just on the brakes normally. It drives me crazy not knowing what it is. I honestly have no clue to what it could be. I've replaced the upper control arms about 3 months ago but no luck. Anything I could check before deciding to bring it to the dealership. Any feedback/help to what the issue is would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Will do. Thanks.

Will do. Thanks.

Also, don’t bring it to the stealership. They’ll **** you, I’d try to find a decent indie shop that knows dodge platforms well.

Because you say the noise goes away when braking, I’m leaning towards a loose caliper or a pad is rattling around etc etc. but either way, take a look or have it looked at, sooner than later is best.

Thanks for your feedback. Will look into the calipers and brake pads.
