Angry Clunking/Popping Noise!!!!!!!

I'm really getting flustered with this new truck! It has developed a popping/clunking noise coming from the (R) front of the truck! It sounds like it's coming the trailing arms or the swaybar. Anybody had this issue???

I have it, it seems to be while turning slightly in my case, hard to duplicate. I thought it was speed bump related but I've had it happen on flat sloped ground? It's almost a knock like 4x4 on dry ground, but it doesn't seem binding and not as loud, but I can definitely feel it. The wife can't hear it from the passenger seat?

P.S. Mine sounds like it's on the driver side though.

Pop your front differential cover... and see if any "bits" fall out.

My truck made a bang a while ago. I thought I hit something in the road... Fine since... 3000 miles..

Then Sat I was coming to a stop rolling along at 4 mph and BANG! What the heck? Then clunk clunk..... This ain't good!

Seems a bolt backed out and went through my ring and pinion the last time busting a tooth off. Was floating around for a while..

Thought I kept occasionally hearing rocks getting tossed from my tires hitting up under my truck.

Have someone watch the trackbar-frame mounting bolt to see if it moves laterally while you turn the steering wheel back & forth (you probably won't see it with the wheels off the ground).
