Help I am lost

I have a 2003 f 250. was taking a turn and acclerating on day and as I cleared the turn I heard a loud clanking noise from what it seemed to be under the truck. Towed the truck home hubby replaced the center bearing and also greased all yokes. Now I haven't heard the noise as loud but I have heard it and the truck shakes. The noise doesn't happen all the time either. All u joints were checked they are fine. Any ideas, I miss being able to drive my truck,it has been 3 weeks!!!This is a 2 wheel drive. 5.4 engine

Sounds like the front hub(s) might be engaged?

Does it have a Limited Slip rear diff? If it does, it may be needing some friction additive. An incorrect amount or none at all will cause the clutches in the rear end to chatter bad when accelerating out of a turn like you discribed.
