Hey all im new to the forum so im not sure if im posting this in the right place.
I have a 2008 ram 1500 5.7 hemi laramie

for the past month or two Ive been hearing a constant "whomp" noise which sounds like its been coming from the front end. My first thought was the obvious cv axle as it is a lifted truck so more stress is put on them. They are the original axles so I replaced both sides along with the stub axles. While I was in there I checked the front differential and all seemed well so I patched her back together and the clunking noise continued. I noticed it almost dissapears when I turn right and gets louder and more intense as I turn left so I went to the next solution with hubs and bearings. With both of those replaced I was very confused when the noise continues. All wheels have been balanced and rotated, no unusual wear patterns on them and no flat spots. Now that all moving parts (including calipers, pads, and discs) have been replaced im baffled that this issue persists. The noise is speed determined as well. The faster I go the faster the whomp happens.
any and all ideas are welcomed with graciously..
Also my pedals are solid, no extra motion in those as well as brakes. Everything drives as it should no weird feelings anywhere except for the whole truck shaking from whatever is causing that whomp. Steering wheel has no vibrations

 

Have you tried rotating the tires? Seems that is about all that's left.

Welcome to DF! And, yes, you are in the right place.

 

I agree that tire rotation is a good troubleshooting step, your tire may be cupped or has thrown a belt.
I recommend that you lift the front end and check for play in the ball joints, tire rods, shock mounts, and engine mounts. It's almost certainly one of these if not the tire.

 

yes I have rotated and balanced all of the tires.

 

So I have no play in the tires when jacked up. My engine mounts do look pretty rough. As in when I spin the tire the engine shift a few centimeters. Could that really be what causing the whomp noise?

 

I thought about that and threw my spare on just to rule out the tire and its the same noise anyways.

 

Can you post a decent audio clip of the noise you are hearing??

 

yes im going to put a gopro in the engine bay facing those mounts and see if thats the issue.

 

Sounds like a winner. Post 'em up when ya got 'em.

 

couldn't get gopro footage but here is a video with the noise.
