2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 4X2, 5.9L

Recent alignment with cradle shift after replacing ball joints and outer tie rod ends.

Truck still pulls to the right and gives a loud THUNK when turning the wheel hard to the left at low speeds (backing out of driveway, etc).

Just replaced calipers/rotors as well and bearings are fine.

I'm at a loss, so any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Control arm bushings gone?

Did you check all of the steering/suspension for worn parts?

Professionally aligned? Bring it back.

 

Feel the thump thru the steering wheel? Rock Solid Ram Steering Fix.

Rotate your tires... see if that makes a difference. Also, +1 on the above post.

 

I also had this. I had a friend observe what is clunking while I back out of the driveway turning left. We found that it was the ball joint on the upper control arm. Replaced it and clunk is now gone.

 

+1 definatly sounds like a control arm....i know you have 2wd but my control arm bushings on my 4x4 are dry cracked and beat up and i always hear clunks going over bumps...i know its this because i dont really feel it in the wheel and ive replaced ALL my front end parts..
