Front end noise
I'm hearing a clunking noise coming from the front passenger side on my 03 SuperDuty. Possibly a ball joint? Anyone have any problems? Seem to hear it when hitting minor bumps.

SMc,
Do you hear it EVERY time you hit even a small bump? Reason I ask: the A/C duct/heater duct makes a "thump" when it actuates, but that's usually pretty close to when you start the truck up and/or activate the A/C or heater switch.
If you hear it every time you hit a bump or ditch, it could be a ball joint or literally any component associated with the suspension. Check bushings for uneven wear, etc... or have a allignment technician look at the suspension.
Good luck and I hope it's nothing serious! And speaking of "serious"... 'ow 'bout dem Steelahs?!!! I've been a Steeler fan since BEFORE the dynasty in the 70's, have rode their roller coaster ever since, and am happy to see this resurgance in 2004. Go Steelers!!!
Best,
Daryl

Thanks,, Steeler fever is running high around here right now !!!! The paper this morning just had an article about the Steeler Nation and how far it spreads across the country !!!! Don't know about todays game, but usually there are more Steeler fans in Cincy than Bengal fans !!!!!
