Clunking sound - New issue

[Deleted member 12951]

I know there are several threads on clunking sound but mine seems different. Yes I hear it when I am backing up out of my drive way turning since there is dip down on it and when I run across an indention in the road going straight and also in a parking lot at slow speeds turning hard left to get into a spot.

BUT, I hear it every single time when I step on the brakes on a smooth surface just going straight. It's like when the weight of the truck is shifting forward when braking. It seems to be coming from the drivers side and it seems like I can feel it in my left foot.

Been going on for a month or so. Only change to suspension was the day before TRR, I got an aftermarket UCA installed and my caster is near 7.0. I didn't hear any issues for several weeks after TRR.

Any ideas?

I assume it's in the front, I would check the torque on all of the bolts up there, especially the lower shock mount bolt. gl

I have ICON's so the lower shock mount bolt is torque to 120ft*lbs

Hey Rick, I was getting the same sound from the Driver's side and could feel it happening in my foot. Mine would only do it when I was turning in a parking lot near full lock or at full lock. It turned out to be the lower control arm bolts being loose. Tighten them and check alignment.

I have all those bolts marked with marker paint. The marks are not broken.

check the caliper bolts and the caliper hanger bolts If you hear it every time during bracking you might have a loose caliper and its clunking.

Do you ever feel any of it in the steering wheel?

No. But when applying the brakes sometimes, it shakes a little like the rotors are slightly warped
