Default Loud knocking noise

Hey guys..a recent problem just started on my ram. When i am going slow, say under 30mph, somewhere in the front, i am thinking front right, seemingly where the passenger puts his feet, somewhere under there, there is a loud knocking noise thats repetitive to the speed i am going..for example if i am going slow, its like "knock....knock....knock" but if i speed up its like "knock....knock...knock..knock, knock". But it dissapears when i hit faster than 30mph, and diminishes and ALMOST goes away if i turn pretty sharp going under the 30mph. It almost sounds like the cans that the "just married" cars drag behind them. I have no idea what it could be..any ideas?

Weellllll i am glad to see that 45 people..or maybe some people read it twice..have not even an idea of what it could be, cause i dont either, easier on the ego. I plan on taking it to the dodge stealer the day after tomorrow and i'll keep ya'll posted on what the problem was, just in case anyone was wondering or had the same thing happening.

Sounds like it could be an axle u-joint, but it could be a loose or worn out steering/suspension part too.

Well, took it to the dealer today, and Ramtuff..you were right on. Some seal had dried up and some my axle fluid or somethin was leaking, which was causing the U-joints to not be lubricated, and apparantly it had messed 'em up pretty bad cause they have to replace them. Thank god for the extended warranty...
