clunk in front when turning

smokey73 · Oct 15, 2013

I'm at a loss guys/girls i have a 2003 f350 dually 4x4 and when i first bought it i could turn fully to the left and right with no noise and after about 6 months acquired a clunk after about a half turn off center either way. I Jacked it up and found a little play in the right front wheel bearing so i replaced it and it was fine for a month and then came back.
So i rechecked the bearings and all was ok so i then figured front axle u joints so i replaced both of them, and it was fine for about 2 weeks and it came back. so i was thinking a locking hub so i pulled one off and drove it and no noise so i replaced both and the noise is still there and its driving me nuts any help would be great thanks in advance.

have you checked your spring bushings, sway bar link bushings, shock bushings? more than likely one of those is your culprit.

it could be just dumb luck....also check your axle shafts, grab it and pull up and down and back and forth.....this is PURELY TO FIX YOUR AXLE OF YOUR TRUCK....because that just sounded odd lol
