Default Snap/clunk right turns

I have a snapping sound taking a right turn into a slight grade think of pulling into a driveway with a berm or a parking lot with a berm doesn’t happen on. The left-hand turns doesn’t happen at grade doesn’t happen when I am just parked not moving. can’t tell any other symptoms tried re-creating it in multiple scenarios. This is the only situation it happens. Sounds like it could be coming from underneath the driver side, but can’t be for sure. Will post the public link for YouTube video below 2022 F150 50k

Wow, that's quite a snap sound you're experiencing... I'd inspect your suspension to begin with...Sway bar end links, ball joints, tie rod ends, struts, etc. I have a 2005 FX4, and while replacing my struts a week ago, I saw the sway bar links were missing the rubber dampers on both the top and bottom on both sides. Mine didn't make a snapping noise but I could see where one could possibly get in a bind and cause a snapping sound. Please keep us posted, I'm interested in hearing what you find....

What is wrong with the axle? CV joint shot? Broken half shaft? Enquiring minds want to know.

Default Solved

Hey, everybody looks like it was solved. I didn’t realize that I got an alignment before this started happening in my mind. I thought I got the alignment afterwards. Turns out the technician forgot to re-tighten the cam bolts. They re-tighten them and redid my alignment and the noise has gone.
