Question suspension.....

Ok guys ive had my new truck for bout a month... And I've start to notice something in the front... Well sounds like somthing from the front... If I start to slow down it'll make one click noise.. and if i go over bumps or a bumpy corner its make a click noise.. seems like whenever the front suspension is workin it clicks.. I've had some people tell me it could be the front brake pads clip wiggled out n the pads sliding back and fourth in the caliper... But I'm kinda thinking differently.. I'm thinking maybe track arm bushings.. or something of that nature... Thoughts? Opinions?? Let's here em guys... Thanks for the help guys!

sitting still, turn your wheel, lock to lock, and see if it pops, if it does, its your track bar. mines done the same thing every time.

is it a clunk(smaller noise) or a loud pop? a louder pop will be a track bar bolt not tight enough or an egged out hole, a smaller clunk will be a control arm bolt loose, odds are one of the upper arm bolts on the frame side. more than likely the passenger side.

Ball joint,or U joint maybe?? Even if your trac bar is fine i would still put an adjustable in. i have never had good luck with a relocation bracket

Well i don't think its a ball joint.. and a u joint I should be a able to feel the viberation. And it only clicks once when i slow down or go around a bumpu corner... but im thinking its the track bar cause it did when I was going through a tight parking lot with the wheels at full lock going to the right.
