Do you have 4X4. If so it could be you hub, or possibly the seal. I had one come loose once.

Might be your ball joints. Sometimes when they are starting to go bad they will start by making noise and popping only during very tight turns like you make only at slow speeds. Good luck and keep us posted. Like many people I am chasing front end noise also.....

I don't know, truck has 35k easy miles, don't seem like ball joints could be culprit yet. I will get front end checked next service and we'll see.

Ball joints can be bad at 35k miles.

Be sure to circle back and let us know what the verdict is from your dealer, Pockets52. I'll check in to see when you have an update.
