I started hearing a noise coming from the right front, it is a Kluncking sound. I can only hear it when the truck is slowing down and just taking off. Now a week later it is starting to sound pretty bad. My wife says she can feel it on the passenger side floor board. I lifted the front end and checked the front drive line, doesn't seem to be coming from there. Any ideas, maybe a U-Joint or bearing.

Thanks

 

I would check your front wheel u joint. Try and wiggle it. If there is play it is going bad.

 

Front end noises on these trucks are real fun to chase. Could be axle u joint, but you would likely feel that when you were turning. Ball joints, the lowers are usually the most suspect i think, could also do it. Do you have any excess play in the steering/ tracking issues? I finally replaced my track bar and that solved my front end noise, the bushing was shot. Had a friend with a drivers side clunk and we found that the shock mount bolts on the bottom were loose.

 

process of elimination. you need to check the whole front end! axle-u joints-, tie rods, trac bar , steering box, ball joints,etc

 

Have someone you trust crank the wheels lock-lock while you inspect all the moving parts under the front end for undesirable movement.

Real easy to see if your trackbar bushings are shot that way.

 

Sorry it took so long to reply have been out of town on business. It ended up being bad U-Joint. Posted new thread about my other findings.
