I've noticed recently that I'm getting some "noise" through the steering wheel at low speed turns (20mph or less) and most noticable coming out of parking spots/traffic lights/stop signs/etc. There is nothing actually making noise, just stuff I can feel through the steering wheel. It's not a vibration but more of light clunking type feeling. I know Dodge's have a history of suspension issues but this being my first Dodge I'm not sure where to start. Any ideas?

Need an alignment due to tire slip issues? Do you have strange wear on your front tires? Have you hit any curbs recently?

Could be your CVs if it only happens when you turn really hard. Have you used 4wd very much?

Do you have any suspension mods?

No suspension mods, been holding off cause if there is a problem that would be covered under warranty didn't want them to deny it due to other suspension mods that didn't cause the issue.

No weird wear on my tire and haven't hit any curbs but we do have some killer pot holes and I know I'm hit a couple of those

Only used 4wd about a handful of times so far.

Might have my buddy who is a master tech drive and see what he thinks but I hate wasting his time for small ****
