My front end is making a clucking grinding noise.My truck has 40 thousand miles i have only used four wheel drive a few times.It makes the noise when i turn and drive very loud sounding.And a little driving straight.But not all the time.Neither when i turn?Could it be the front u joints or even a wheel bearing also how would i check.I tried pulling on the front u joints but they seemed tight expect one was much warmer then the other????Should i use a small bar?And what about the front wheel bearings.I am really not that hard on her besides laying some rubber.I do have the warranty but i might be drop since i have afe stage 2 cold air and the blade runnner and a smarty jr.And muffler res delete.Your help would be great.:argh

 

left the front end in the air and grab the tire to see if they have any move met. there is a video on you tube i think it is under powerstroke help

 

ummmm.... my truck does the samething sometimes. i just had the "expensive" conection rod replaced, and a front end allignment, and no one has said anything to me about any problems. two differnt garages worked on it. i have always figured it was my lift or tires "grabing" a little to hard. it only seems to do it while i am parking, forward and backward. i never really noticed it while normal driving. and no wheeling or anything like that for me. just regular driving and towin with it.

 

Taking it to the dealer still under warranty.Then i shall find out exactly i guess.

 

be great to know what they come up with!!!

 

my u joints were shot at 31 k all road miles. dealer tore one wheel bearing up pulling it off. when they go bad again i am going to put after market ball jionts in it
