A complete front end check is probably warranted. I would check the leaf springs/bushings and tie rods ect.

^^^^ Is right^^^^
I would stop in to the local alignment shop and have then take a quick look.
I don't know but some places will do a safety check for free or under $30.00
That would give you some ideas on what is happening.

I would also have a look at the spring bushings on that side.
The shocks also have a rubber type bushing.
Bad bushings will give a clunk as the part moves. Then
there is the track bar bushing.

If you are taking the dust cover seals at the end of the shaft. They have updated those to a newer design that seems better.
You have to pull the wheel/hub assy to get to them though.

Thanks senix! I pulled all that off yesterday so it shouldn't be a problem
