Front end knocks
 
2010 Dakota. Had upper & lower control arms replaced, both strut and sway bar links but still have front end noise like something loose, not tightened

Is it a clunk sound? My '05 does it sometimes when turning it unexpectedly makes a clunk on the drivers side.

A few possibilities. It would be helpful to describe the sound. Is it a rattle, a clunk, a rap, high or low pitch (clap or thump), single sound or knocking ....

sway bar bushings, rubber blocks the swaybar runs through.

bad/stiff CV on the front drive shaft. From the Tcase to the differential.

Brake pads loose in caliper, missig spring clips.

........ what type of sound?

I just started experiencing this with my 2010 Dakota Magnum TRX4. For me, It's a single sound, intermittent as I drive. It doesn't seem to be associated with steering, but more with accelerating or decelerating, like something top heavy is "rocking" back and forth in the wheel well and clunking. steering, alignment, and overall handling seem to be fine. Just started experiencing this last night and this morning. This is my first truck, and I want to take good care of it, i just don't know where to start.
