Another danged noise...
Say...maybe one of you can point me in the direction of a specific clunking rattle noise from the front end over terrian flaws like potholes, speed bumps and abrupt edges.
I'm new here and haven't been to every thread but I've read some of the other complaints however none so far seem to be the same as what I'm hearing. Is there anything you can think of beside the brake calipers? (I rode the brakes and can still hear the noise.) Something definately sounds loose...I may have to crawl under there with a hammer.
Fishing...Ted

i had the same noise, in my truck. the culprit was an elongated hole in the left front sway bar. a new bolt was installed, and tightened up as far as it would go. the noise is gone for now.... but sooner or later, the bar's going to have to be taken off and repaired.

Thanx pancartom, I'll check that too...someone else said something about the torsion/sway bar just a few posts before yours. Haven't had a chance to get under there though...studing for a big test in Denver this week. It'll have to wait till I do an oil change when I get back...Ted

Well took it to the dealer again and they seemed to find the problem it was coming from the left rear shock mount .. aparently the botl was loose and vibrating against the frame and vibrating to the front of the truck giving the impression that it was coming from the front.....well the sounds gone and i am very happy to be clunk free....hope this might help someone out there........
