front right clunk 1001

I have this clunk on small bumps that is driving me crazy. 80k on the truck
MY CHECK LIST
brand new OME shocks and coils
upper /lower ball joint nut removed and fiscally in hand no play
steering box checked no play
removed sway bay completely still noise
tightened all body mounts and checked every nut/bolt I could see
removed glove box/ radio checked for lose stuff in dash none
opened hood checked everything
jacked up front tires did the wiggle no play
changed air in tires still noise
could it be the motor mounts and how do I check them

 

Broken leaf spring?

 

saggy front? are you possibly hitting your factory bumpstops?

 

tie rod ends?

 

Maybe try placing your hand on the front fender above the wheel opening then push forward and pull backward to see if it makes the noise. Tightening the driver side fender got rid of a clunk my truck had. Good luck!

 

I have had the shocks completely off and tie rod off no play that I can feel. shocks are new and sitting at 23.75 to fender and checked rear leafs. It does not do it all the time, mostly when turning to the left on small bumps.

 

Mine went away after i drove through some mud

 

Its defiantly more of a clunk then a pop? What UCA's are you running?

 

Camburg ball joint

 

Check the torque on your lower control arm bolts

 

When I checked the lower ball joints for play I removed and re-torqued

 

I had a similar clunk after I installed my TC UCAs. The clunk ended up coming from the poly bushings on the UCAs. Was an easy fix. Might be worth a shot.

The two bolts through the frame? I found mine loose after an alignment, but it's all good if you checked them

 

The alignment bolts

 

Ok cool, we're on the same page

 

x2 Those poly bushings will clunk. Especially feel it getting on/off the brake from a stop.

Also check these bolts at the frame to bumper support. Removed the skid plate to gain access and you'll know exactly what im talking about. mine were very loose from the factory.





Now something else I would check is your brakes/calipers for. Sounds silly but, ive seen loose calipers and that will create some noise for sure.

As far as the motor mounts go which I highly doubt..but, the way I check them is just to push the motor against the opposing motor mount. If its broke you'll know it.

 

I have removed all the skids to check all bolts/nuts but I might have missed this set. I am going to take the radio and glove out this weekend and take a drive on some dirt to see if maybe it is in the dash. It seems to move with suspension but I will look at anything this point.

 

I had a similar clunk and got obsessive tracking it down. It was about 50% in the upper intermediate shaft and 50% slop in the steering rack at the guide adjusting bolt. The later resonated and amplified up through the frame. Jack up the front wheels and wiggle the steering wheel back and forth just a little. See if there is slop at the point where the lower steering shaft enters the steering rack.

 

Mine does the same after I installed my ICON C/O's and UCA's. Both tie rod boots are torn and waiting to be replaced when I get back from deployment. There is no play in the tie rod ends So I'm interested to see what is causing your clunk.

 

I have done this with both front tires off the ground and I do hear slop in the steering shaft. It just seems like suspension noise in the right front but I know sound has a weird way of traveling.
