How did the front axle u-joints or driveshaft joints look when you did the ball joints? Does it make the clunk when in 4x4 only or all the time?

 

If it's a full-time, axle u-joint, might also be the "spring" that holds the caliper up against the top. This might be gettin' weak and allowing the caliper to "bounce" up and down. One other thing it might be is the spindle bearings that the axle rides in/on. This would only be with full-time or when the front end is locked in.

 

thank ya`ll for the help
but the jonit`s are good
it is an automatic lock in
and yes the loud cluck is when
it`s in 4 wheel drive.
the main thing is it feels like
the wheel is going to fall off
when you turn to the left
thanks agin
