So @KATOOM wants to know more about my mystery clunk.

 

When unloaded I have a pretty nasty clunk/crash that can be felt in the floor.  Steering doesn't seem to be effected though.   It is directly related to when you unload the front suspesnion.  

 

From the drivers side it feels like it is coming from the passenger side, from the passenger side it doesn't feel as bad.  

 

Before we get into what I have replaced we need to look at the history of my truck, the PO must have broke the front axle as i have a 1994 d60 under the front rather than the 2000 that I was supposed to have on the truck,

 

Things I have replace that made no difference,

 

- ball joints, all of them

- steering assembly, 2x

- control arms 2x, upper and lower with new hardware and welding the caster adjuster in place, now have adjustable control arms due to that.

- control arm bushings 3x

- body mounts,

- sway bar mounts and bushings

- sway bar end links front and back.

- wheel bearings

- shocks 2x 

- track bar 3x

 

 

Things I am wondering about still,

 

Motor mounts, doesn't happen when I get on the skinny pedal though.

ovaled out body mounts for the control arms.

 

 

So who has the magic answer to my clunk?  I rightly dont care anymore. after 4 years of the clunk I just couldn't be bothered to fix it lol.

After taken you for beer

I am saving up for the eclipse!!!!!

well I snugged up the track bar mount, no go.  New set of wheel bearing as the timkens gave up the ghost after ~80,000

 

I am starting to think that my clunk might be engine mount / trans mount related.

Short version of what you replaced already?

2x ball joints

2x wheel bearings

3x track bar

2x upper and lower control arms with new hardware, welded camber adjusters

1x swab links and mounts

2x shocks

3x pitman arm to kuckles steering linkages

1x all u joints

 

 

What gets me is the steering wheel does not move / vibrate / jump at all but your butt / feet / ears hear and feel the truck "side step"

Feel it in the front or back?

seems to have migrated to both now, but orginally up front.

cab mounts? When I replaced mine they were all different heights from getting squished over time

Could be.  I wonder if the can is banging on the frame.....

The fuel sloshing in the tank made a wierd noise and feeling sort of a clunk on every 2nd gen i had over time. Not sure why but it would be totally annoying in certain driving conditions.
