Hey gang, looking for a little help....
The front end of my truck has been clunking for some time now. I have replaced the bearings (which were shot) the lower ball joints (which were also not in the finest shape) and I still have a pretty nasty rattle /clunk. The problem now is that I can't seem to find a definite loose/worn item. Each time previous I got under the truck I could physically observe a loose component. This time I can push, pull, wiggle etc and I can't find a single thing loose.
The reason I suspect the strut bearings is because when I tow a trailer with a heavy tongue weight, the clunking becomes more prominent.
I'm fairly well skilled with wrenching on a truck so with the noises I'm hearing I figured this would be an easy find, but this time I'm left scratching my noodle a little
Truck is high milage and no lift......sees occasional off-road but nothing too crazy.
Since I'm high mileage I'm sure I should just go ahead and replace everything front end related but......
Thanks for any help you can give me.
