Hey yall, I got a 95 f150, 302, 4x4. My front end has an occasional clunking sound when I turn to the right, it is not the radius arm bushings, axle pivot bushings, the left ball joints, I dont thinks it is the tie rod ends, it all feels sturdy, I am at a total loss. I have not replaced the right ball joints, because they feel ok. I would appreciate any help

 

since you've checked everything else, it could be a wheel bearing....doubtful, but ya never know

 

na I checked them too it all feels sturdy, nothing gets overly hot, and there is no burning grease smell

 

cab mount bushings??? lol im trying to think of everything that would make a clunking sound.... or maybe the sway arm bushings (im not sure if our trucks have them or not) lol but i know they'll make a clunking noise if they need replaced

 

Ya I just pulled the sway bar off, because I thought the same thing, I know my cab mounts need to be replaced, but it does it a stand still to so I think that eliminates that.

With out the sway bar the entire front end is quieter, but that noise I think is still there.

 

hmmm i think ill hand this thread over to, "Dr. Bowtie" and "Just Call Me Sean".... whatever it is, i'd say its a bushing somewhere.... maybe a control arm bushing or something like that.... im stumped though

 

Only thing I am thinking is that the ball joint is starting to go bad, but is not loose enough to show movement yet.

 

pack the ball joint full of grease and see if it helps any....

 

ya I am thinking I will try that, sux that the stock ball joints dont have grease fittings. The moog ball joints on the left side of my truck are really nice, they are greaseable, but expensive.

 

yea i found that out about the stock ball joints not having grease fittings.... i'd say here before long ill have to put new ball joints in though.... that all comes after i put the other transfer case in my truck though lol
