I have a front end clunk when I hit bumps on my new 03 and it just bothers the crap out of me. I jacked the truck up and pushed on the tops of the tires and I couldnt feel any play so that means my ball joints and wheel bearings are good. Anything else I can do to figure out this annoying clunk???

Sway Bar Links. Hard to test, but that was the cause of the clunk on mine last spring. I may have to do them again. Gotta love winter in Upstate NY and potholes. Chris

I had the same clunk under my feet on driver`s side, also had loose sloppy sterring , and it also seamed like my front shocks needed to be replaced. !I took it in to the stealership and the upper and lower ball joints were bad and also a hub bearing on the passenger side was bad. They hit me for almost $1400. But man it was like having a new truck again, those ball joints must have been going out for along time!

I had to put sway bar end links in my 03 and it went away but I have noticed after some winter driving and plowing it is coming back ever so faint...

Ahh the joys of winter life! I may replace mine again this spring. It's a small price to pay for a smooth ride. Chris

I have always been told that the "clunk" is the bushings in your shocks. In my last PSD, I had the same problem, and after looking at m shocks, it was very obvious that they needed changed.

I have no idea what they are at the dealer. My Sway Bar End Links were done under warranty so I would have to call for a price. Chris
