2007 dodge ram 1500 4x4. Got a clunk coming from drivers side when turning over rough road/bumps. Had drivers side stub axle/cv axle replaced few months ago. Had ball joints and tie rod ends checked, maybe sway bar end links but don't know for sure. Any ideas?

 

depending on mileage. Ball joints, sway bar end links, shocks.

 

Got about 67000 on it. If it were the shock would I notice anything other than a noise? I was also thinking it could be the rack and pinion.

 

was the cv rebuilt or New. shocks mostly do not make noise being bad.

sway bar links... when they break.. spread apart... not together. but possible.

Full inspection is needed.

 

Cv was new, forgot to mention it has a 2 inch leveling kit on it if that might have anything to do with it. It's wierd cause I don't hear anything when going straight over rough areas, only when turning somewhat sharp.

 

Shocks can make noise if they are broken. If the have leaked out oil. Shocks usually are good until 50k, or so. You should look over the front end good. Or have a mechanic you trust look.

 

I will look over it tonight. If I can't find anything I will take to someone. Maybe it's the inner tie rod end since I notice it mainly when turning but who knows, I will look over everything good.

 

Looked over everything last night. Only thing that seem to have any movement was inner tie rod but the movement was up and down not in and out vertically so not sure if it needs replaced or if that is even making the noise. Sway bar end links seemed pretty solid. Strut seems to respond like it should, no excessive bounce. Don't know what else to look at, ball joints seemed good as well.

 

Hadn't heard the clunk for a while until today pulling into driveway. I pushed and pulled on the top of the tire and was able to duplicate the clunk. Guessing it's probably upper ball joint? Haven't had in on jack yet to test it.
