front end noise

[Tncoalroller88]

I cant seem to track down this clunk noise i have in my front end. I already replaced the sway bar endlink bushings the ball joints uper and lower on both sides and the drivers side wheel hub assembly and checked the passenger side wheel assembly for any movement or anything. tie rods look good no steering looseness at all just cannot seem to track down this racket when i go over bumps. Anyone have any suggestions??

Shocks old? Maybe the bushing where the bolt goes through the shock is worn out.

leaf spring bushings?

Did you or didn't you replace the sway bar bushings on the axle? I was chasing a clunk forever doing all the major stuff. Replaced the bushing that wrap the sway bar and that was it.

what about the track bar bushings?

 

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

my bet would be leaf spring bushings.

 

[Tncoalroller88]

Yes I've replaced the sway bar bushings and end link bushings. Really hoping its not leaf spring bushings

My vote is shocks. my obs had a annoying clunk and it was wore it bushings on the shock and the bolt sleeves stretched out and allowed for movement.

this sounds crazy, but when i got my truck i couldnt figure out what was the thump was coming from my front end....and it turned out being a loose bumper bracket...PITA

I've got a clunk also I'm replacing end links tonight then putting shocks on this weekend. I've drained drained the rear end no shavings. I'm replacing the front hub assembly hopefully it'll work

Friend of mine chased a thump going over sharp bumps. Ended up being his exhaust hitting the trans crossmember.

I was chasing a clunk just recently as well. I did find a bunch of parts that were bad that I replaced, but still had a noise. Ended up being the front driver's side body mount bushing under the radiator core support.
