M hearing a clunking noise when i back out of my driveway and the front suspension flexes i took off both sides wheels and see nothing wrong and the bearings seem fine and this started happening after i lowered the front does anyone know what this could possibly be?

 

If it happens when you put it into gear, it could a bad u-joint on your driveshaft. Do you feel any vibration through the drivetrain while you're going 40-50 mph?

 

No i can feel a small vibration at around 25mph and up but i dont ever hear the clunk until im backing out of my driveway and the front dips from side to side and its always on the passenger side and i want to get someone to back it out while i look but i really dont have anyone to do it for a day or so so ive been searchin around the net for clues

 

How did you lower the front? Did you have to breat apart the ball joints? With a fork type tool? I suspect these may be damaged.

 

No sir only thing i took off was the steering component that bolts to the back of the hub i believe its the tie rod and then just took the strut assembly out to switch springs

 

Did you replace the strut mounts? How many miles are on your truck? Sounds like it's probably something in the strut assembly.

 

Nope only thing replaced was the springs and the truck has 130k i preciate the help ill check it out.

 

I have the same problem. I believe but am not sure that my noise started about 20k mile ago when I had my shocks changed. What has changed on my suspension trying to resolve the noise are the tie Ross and lower call joints. Thi weekend I'm going to swap out upper ball joints. Where are the strut mounts located on the strut tower?

 

Mine only does it when i go akwardly on a dip were the front flexes back and forth im starting to think its either my new springs springin or when its flexin the spring hits the strut but that would be weird but it has rub marks on it that werent there when i changed out the springs...when i go visit my dad this weekend hes gonna help me look at it more since hes a genious compared to me haha

 

Try retightning everything' mine did a clunking noise when i would turn turned out to be a loose lower control arm
