I am hearing to different noises coming from the front of my car

first when i drive slow or when the car goes up and down from a speed bump i hear like a clank noise coming from both wheels

and also

i turned all the way to left the other way trying to pull in a parking spot and when i stepped on the gas i heard a real loud bang noise coming from front right tire so i let go off the gas and stepped on it again and the bang noise happened again.

if you guys have any clue what it may be i highly appreciate it
and also still having issues with my 4x4 engaging right any idea on that would help

thanks

 

Well, the clanking could be from blown front shocks. These trucks are notorious for having $hitty shocks. For the banging, there's def something wrong with the CV axle. Could be in correlation with your 4x4 not engaging properly.

 

thats what i thought about the shocks so i bought new ones a few weeks ago and installed them about two weeks about
how would i know the cv axles are bad?
i know when i was under there i did see a little bit of gooy stuff by transmission and where they go in

 

Check the rubber boots to see if they are ripped. That "gooey" stuff is prolly the grease coming out.

 

Yep, sounds to me like you lost grease on a CV and by driving it dry it's shot.

Is this truck stock or leveled/lifted in any way???

 

alright i will replace those soon then, would this mess with the 4x4?
and i never raised it but everyone that sees my truck says it is so maybe the prior owner did
any way of measuring to see if it actually was?
thanks

 

Take a pic and post it. Also take a pic of the CVs, boots and especially make sure your pic gets the angle of the CV shafts. A front level kit, if excessive will put the CVs at a poor angle and weaken them considerably, also it stretches the boots making them prone to tearing. I suspect this may be the case...

 

sorry for the crappy pix my phone sucks and im at work






The middle two pix show the gooey stuff i was talking about and the boots on the axels look fine no rips or anything

 

Your angles are bone stock, which is good. Looks like the inner seal went...

 

gotta take out the axels to replace them correct?

also do you think I should do the T-crank?
