new noise

2012 truck, started making a noise today,
I cannot tell what it is, but seems to be coming from the passenger front suspension, its a crunching/light clunking sound, happens when going over bumps, when the truck pitches one way or the other turning, and coming to a stop

truck has 6k miles, I did a quick visual inspection this afternoon, didn't notice much, but the sway bar endlink looked a bit odd though, not sure if normal, its gota little bend too it and seems to just contact the vac line mounted behind it, seemed unsuaul

maybe its its just one of the crappy rancho branded shocks is junk?
any ideas whatelse to check?
thanks,

Did you recently do any "Dukes of Hazard" style flying with your truck?

Try turning off the stability/skid control (button is located in the center of dash) and going over the same stretch of road.

My truck does the same thing....seems to be overly sensitive to bumpy on ramps or sharp turns in to parking lots.

Check your cab bolts and radius arms. Maybe a loose shock.

There is a new TSB just release about this very issue. I forgot the tsb # and have not found it anywhere.

On the ford site it does not go in-depth.

Will keep hunting.
