Truck started making loud clucking noise when turning left and right while truck is under 10mph. Also makes a bit of a sound when braking.
I have stopped driving it on the highway until I figure out what I need to replace. please help! joints? axel? tie rods? Let me know and thanks for the advice!
Sounds like a pulling, clunking, clicking, noise

I thought I saw the idler arm moving too much. Get it up off the ground and check what is loose. Start with the idler arm. Looks like it could be your problem.

The idler arm looks like it's getting very close to the frame at the joints too. See if it's rubbing there.

I had a worn idler arm and it caused the steering wheel to be turned to the right when the wheels were straight. Put a new one in and the wheel straightened up. Might be a clue. I think that I might have tightened up the steering box a hair also, although, apparently, some people don't like to do that. You can overtighten them and they can bind. The more looseness I removed the straighter my steering wheel got. An unexpected bonus.

Put some Vise-grips on the steering shaft and you can move things while you're under the truck. It helps to see what's loose.

Awesome, Thank you all for the suggestion. When this snow clears up here in dallas ill get under the truck and start with the idler arm

Turns out the lower control arm bolt was loose on the driver's side. I tightened with a torque wrench and drove it around town and sound was gone. I did order new arms for both side just to be safe. Thanks for the help!
