Default clunking

i get a clunking sound/feel when i go over bumps even small ones. I feels like it is on the driver's side, right under my left foot. Its not a loud clunk and can't really hear it unless the radio is turned down or off. It is a very light clunk sound and fell. Do you know what this could be??? Its not the shocks, their brand new.

Thanks

Are you sure it could be the trackbar, i do not think it could be that. The steering is perfect, barely any play at all. Also, when i bought it in the summer the dealer had just replaced it, and you could tell, looked brand new. I was thinking more along the lines of the control arm bushings since one is right under my pedals.

I'm just suggesting that it could be your trac bar....

maybe you need someone to get under big bird and watch all the steering components while you steer that dog to see what is loose, I had to do the same thing, had the same clunking and it turned out to be my track bar. And what an expensive bugger it was, it was either that, or buy an adjustable one and weld the bracketry on, after I got the other one installed I'm glad I didn't try to fab one, there is a weird bend on the frame side that gives room from your front dif......
