Clanking from front passenger side on my DMAX
 

I recently purchased a 04 LB7. It has 65,000 miles on it. After I purchased it I changed the oil and greased up all the fittings first thing. Just yesterday at 68,000 miles my buddy ridding in the passenger seat noticed a clanking coming from the front on the passenger side. It's a metallic clanking sound. It sound like its coming from the wheel. I only notice it when going over speed bumps at low speeds. I haven't torn into it yet? Any suggestions? Wheel bearings? The hub? Has anyone has the same problem?

:welcome:

jack your front end up, and see if there is any play in the hub or u-joint, etc. also it may be the bolts on the front cross member (fixed by putting washers on them).

does it occur while turning hard and backing up like in a drive way?

X2, & check out the whole front suspension, could be balljoints, shocks, etc.:c:

Thanks for the insight. Il let you all know what I discover. I do actually notice it when I'm turning. But again only at low speed. I'm not sure if that's cause
My trucks so loud or it goes away when I pick up speed.

I checked it out. I can't believe it I feel sorta like a jackass. I didn't know that the hub cover was 2 pieces. The inside one was loose and rattling. I just re-sat it and it was good to go. Thanks guys for your advice though. Look forward to further discussions with y'all.

That's why I don’t run hubcaps. Well, that and it's just more crap to deal with when messing with the tires.

That was an easy fix.... I wish every clunk was that easy to fix :argh:

Yeah I agree. But if it all were that easy it wouldn't be any fun either
