Whats That Noise?
Ok I hate to add to the other what's that noise questions but I think this one is different.
I have a 99 F250 SD 4x4 Shortbed Extended Cab 3.73s PSD 7.3l and I have a little klunk that I can feel in my feet in only when stopping from about 30 slowly, it occurs at about 5-0mph at that last point, if you slam on it it wont knunk, people have said it may be my rotors, I dont see how, the lugs should keep it tight, and it has been quiet for a long time. other people said it was my swaybar end links, nope, I have them dissconnected and it still happens, my brake pads klunking, dosent seem to be a possibility.
Any Ideas??
Thanks

Chk your caliper bolts ,shocks ,spring bolts and leafs themselves,swaybar bushings , u-bolts that hold springs to front axles .
Are you sure its in the front? chk rear helper spring is not touching the snubber.
Just some suggestions there are more though.

Definately sounds like the slip joint in the drive shaft. Any noise on take off?
You may also want to check the brake calipers, the pins that the caliper slides on can sieze and cause uneven braking action which MAY be your problem.
Good luck.

Waxy, that did happen my brake pads on the back side of the rotor's rusted the last guy never drove it, i have to remove the caliper and the u shaped brake pad holder and drive the brake pads out with a hammer, then I cleaned the pad backing (metal part) with a wire brush grinding wheel and reinstalled, I am going to replace them, with new tonight.
Also about the drive shaft slip joint there was afaq on here about that dose anybody know where it is, if not dont I just remove it and add greese?

I think you're after the SD FAQ page, the thread is anchored at the top of this page.

ok I have found the groaning noise in the front end it was 1 of three things, 1. springs grinding on each other (I greased) 2. Bushings On Spring End And Shackles (also greased) 3. loose nut on the ubolts in front drivers side. (tightned)
I also took apart my drive shaft and shure enough there was aton of blue stuff, no grese I added it but still have that knunk when goign into drive and reverse, and you can feel a little bit of play.
What esle you got for me?
Thanks
