front end clunk

My truck has been making this sound about 3 or 4 times a week since I did my clutch job. It mainly happens when im in reverse and turning. when I almost come to a stop braking the front end clunks pretty hard. It does it sometimes right after starting from a dead stop as well. I was thinking maybe my driveshaft was loose or something if I didnt tighten down enough putting them back on but I cant tell. anyone experience the same thing?

bump for you, do you think it could be any suspension components

 

I dont know. I dont think so because everything in my suspension has worked great offroad. no clunking then. its mainly right after I start the truck now that I think of it. usually the first when going after me stopping the first time when starting to drive. I thought it might be similar to axle wrap if theres slack on the driveshaft or something

kinda sounds like u joints almost,but u said it was comin from the front end

 

yea it sure feels like its coming from the front end.

 

I have the same thing you're describing: Front end clunk. I've visually inspected it several times, and can't figure out what's going on. When it warms up outside I'm going to check for play in the engine mounts, but I don't really think that's it either.

Post when you find out something about yours.

 

the concern I have is it started happening after I did my clutch job. so obviously its with something that I took off and put back on during that process. the problem is I damn near took the whole car apart doing that so it could be a number of things

 

I didnt check any torque specs when I put stuff back on. And I didnt take off the swaybar so thats not it. my guess was the loose drive shafts

 

is it really bad that I didnt put the bolts in spec??

 

I didn't read the whole thread, but I recently had a clunk, it was the sway bar end links, and the inner TRE's.

 

whats the TREs?

 

Tierod's maybe?

 

tie rod ends

 

lift the front of the truck, with the tires off the ground grab the tire at 3 and 9 o clock, and try to move the tire back and forth, if it moves it's either inner or outer TRE's.

 

good advice. ill try that
