clunk, locking brake, horn
I have a clunking noise in my right front when I hit a pot hole. Also, my right front break seems to lock up rather easily. Could the two problems be associated? Any comments would be appreciated.
Also. my horn does not work, only clicks. How do I change it?

the clunking 7 locking could be because one of the pins that retains the caliper is missing or shot. Remove the wheel for further inspection. Once you locate the horn, verify voltage is present,clean the mounting surface as this is the ground also,and, if still nothin', replace the horn.

If it only clunks when you hit a hole, I would check the radius arm bushings. It wouldnt hurt to check the other suspension bushings too. Just get a pry bar and try to pry on some of the components a little. If it moves alot, then the bushing is shot.

I too have the very same clunking noise coming from the right side, just under the cab. It started yesterday. I live in Buffalo and the wind chill is way into the negative numbers so I haven't had the chance to get under the truck and take a close look at what is going on under there. It is very loud though, I didn't drive it today because it sounds like I am going to loose a wheel or something. I think I read somewhere on this board that the passenger side bushing goes the quickest because of it being so close to the converter. If I find anything out this weekend I will post it.

I get a clunking noise in the right front area, too, but mine only happens when taking a left turn from a dead stop, as if the right front hub was locked and there was some play before it caught. Is everyone talking about 4X4's, or is my problem completely different. Doesn't seem to affect anything, and my mechanic and I both verified that there is no play whatsoever in the front suspension.
