Clunking in my front end

If anyone out there can lend a helping hand on my situation please do! I have a 2004 F350 4x4 supercab with the 6.0 diesel. I have replaced all the ball joints, wheel bearings, steering stabilizer and all of the sway bars. All of that said, I still have a clunking in the front. I feel it right under my feet as I'm driving. Its not a huge clunking, but of great annoyance to me! Could it be the shocks? I have no idea and its driving me crazy!!!!! I have read a few posts and other people came up with the sway bar to axle bushing, but I've grabbed right on to those and they are tight! Thanks for your time, Jon

That is normally associated with worn out sway bar bushings.

try removing the sway bar out of the truck briefly and going for a drive...

if teh clunk goes away you know were the culprit lies..

clunks in teh front end are usualy ball-joints or sway bar bushings.

I had a similiar situation. I forgot to tighten one of the sway bar link bolts(Passenger upper) after installing Energy bushings. Go back and make sure everything is TIGHT.

Yes sir. My truck was doing the same thing and I found the two lower bolts on the links a bit loose. Tightened them up, clunk gone.
