Default '03 Dodge Ram Ext Cab Steering?Axle? Problem

Hello! Looking for suggestions.....

I have a 2003 Dodge Ram Ext Cab SLT 120,000 miles +or-
When holding the steering wheel to the right while driving on a curve there is a clunking feeling and noise coming from under the truck. Possibly from the axle? You can faintly feel it in the steering. It only does it when your holding the wheel to the right on a curve. Other than that its fine when making turns left or right and fine when on curves to the left.

Any ideas??????

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Left front wheel hub bearing possibly. Jack it up and check for any play in the bearings. If there is, replace them. You can check the CV shafts now too (as long as this is a 1500 truck).
