hatcity Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 spring bushings are shot.Sometimes its easier to replace entire spring set than just change bushings.OR, just spray open gear grease into it to keep it quiet Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42153-clunk-on-driver-side-front/#findComment-307046 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refined Trucker Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I had a clunk appear in mine about a month ago. Sounded like someone tapping a piece of metal rapped in a blanket down by the right steer. Turned out to be the lower shock mount bolt had loosened enough that it was able to move a little. Couldn't tell by pulling on shock. Only found it when I put a wrench on and the whole bolt spun.
