Front suspension clunk HELP!
I have a 2001 QC 3.9 4x2. Have a clunk on the passenger side when backing out of the garage. Replaced upper,lower bushings and ball joints both sides and both wheelhubs. All parts moog. I live in Mesa AZ. Not much left to replace. Does anybody have an idea what else?

Stabilizer bar (sway bar) end links. You will get the clunking when going slow over speed breakers too. Napa Chassis with their lifetime warranty or any other good name brand parts will work best. I replaced my own end links around 70,000 miles and again when I did my ball joints at about 120,000 miles. The second time one of the boots was ripped, Napa warranty exchanged the whole part for me. I had to buy a replacement for the other side though, because I stripped out the threads on it (not a warranty defect) when I removed it while replacing my ball joints. Stay away from the cheap Chinese junk parts on ebay. Good parts will cost maybe $30.00 or $35.00 each, and it's not hard a hard job at all to replace them.

Thanks for all the feed back. After I posted the problem I jacked the right side of the truck to check wheel bearings and found it too sloppy to the point the anti-rattle for the caliper was making noise on the hub. Well thats another $133 changed in 2010. Too bad there isn't an adjustment. Thought that might be the problem but wrong again. The sway bar ends look and feel good. The noise I do hear is a dull clunk.

Stock height and I can feel it. It happens when cold first in the morning backing out garage. In my garage I have curb put tires against get home from work. The next morning put in reverse and back away then clunk. Can't seem to make it happen again only in the morning when leaving for work. Feel once and a while pulling out of parking space.
