clunk in left front

I have a clunk in the left front after going over a bump sounds like its almost under the floor or the dash, I already did sway bar links, ball joints I think are good.

I am thinking pittman arm?

Did you change your swaybar bushing? If your links were shot , your bushing probably are too.

yeah did the links and the bushing, I think it could be the pittman arm, the connection seems loose and I am getting a knocking sound when I hit some bumps once in a while

make sure the track bar (panhard bar) is not the culprit...

Not sure how the other trucks are, but our f550 has a bolt-on track bar bracket and it clunked like a SOB on bumps when the bolts came loose LOL
