    I'll go with swaybar.
    Noise is coming from the front

    If possible for you take an hour remove your swaybar. Drive for a while and see if the noise goes away. What you got to lose?
    Good luck

    I had a noice I chased for years. Turned out to be my bed rattling. A cheap spacer fixed it. Search bed rattle spacer fix and you’ll see what I’m referring to.

    My truck use to make a clink when I hit pot holes on a road trip I went on. pretty sure it was that little metal spiral tube on the passenger side engine bay hitting the wheel well. I think a piece of foam may have came off

    had my wife sit in the truck while I tapped it against the well and she said it sounded just like it

    I'm almost positive mine is a bad shock. It only makes the noise when it is bigger hit, IE one that would fully compress the shock.

    i get a squeaking/chirping noise from the rear when going over speed bumps. i think it's the leaf bushings.

    Do you know the part number for these? I might need to give this a shot. My dealerships have exhausted all other options.

    Do you have a trailer hitch? Felt like an idiot when I figured it out after months of head scratching.

    True, with 3500 capacity, I’ve got the tow package and use a multi hitch with capacity up to 6800. Tbh, keeping the hitch attached has spared my bumper from more than a few dings.

    My 3rd gen does this in the rear. My 2nd gen did the same thing. The rear leafs suck and mine are hitting bumpstops.

    Mine did this and I replaced the front bushings with poly, still made the noise. So I replaced the lower ball joints. No more noise. Maybe just coincidence? I wanted Moog serviceable ball joints and it was a PITA to do but happy I can grease them up now.

    For what it’s worth, when I drove with a dealer technician and demonstrated the sound to him, his only guess was that a skid plate might be loose or have a rock stuck in a joint. He took a look and made sure everything was tight, but wasn’t able to determine the cause.

    The next time I took the truck in, I asked them specifically to check the front body bushings. They said they did, and that they were fine. I left the dealership and didn’t hear the sound for a few months. It’s possible it was a coincidence, but I’m pretty good at predicting what type of bump will elicit the clank at this point. I think they either tightened something or did something else that fixed the issue temporarily.

    I refuse to let the dealer touch my car at this long so I haven’t pursued it further. I’ll be having a shop upgrade the suspension soon and I’m hopeful we’ll be able to determine the cause in that process.

    When my 2019 was new it started making a clicking noise, seemed to be coming from the front driver side. Turned out to be a loose skid plate rattling

    My 2013 has a suspension "click" when going over a speed bumps or just larger suspension compression situations. Taking swaybar off made no difference. I've had my LCA bushings replaced, front springs replaced, skid plate checked, click is still there... for the past almost 9 years now!

    Im giving up looking for it now the winter has hit.
    Had the skid plate off for 2 months and still could not find it, need to look at my go-pro video that i took under the trucker better at a latter date some time.
    I did find cracked sheet metal under the battery box that i fixed, but that was a clicking not a clunk....
